Washington closed with 14 points (6-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 loss to the Hornets.
Washington made his presence felt on both ends of the court, ending just one rebound shy of a double-double while posting at least two stocks for the fifth straight contest. Washington has been linked with a move away from the Mavericks before the Feb. 5 deadline, but until that materializes, he should continue to see a steady workload in the frontcourt. Washington is averaging 11.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 blocks per game in his last four contests.
