Gafford totaled 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 122-120 loss to the Nuggets.

Gafford was the Mavericks' third-best scorer in this game behind Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, and he delivered an impressive all-around effort while dealing with the threat of Nikola Jokic -- a daunting task in its own right. Gafford did an excellent job filling out the stat sheet with at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. He's averaging 14.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game since the beginning of November and should continue to see increased minutes until Dereck Lively (shoulder) is cleared to return.
