• Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Drains five triples in win

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson closed Tuesday's 132-91 victory over the Pelicans with 19 points (6-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 24 minutes. Thompson found some much-needed rhythm on the offensive end, connecting on five three-pointers en route to 19 points. Although he remains one of the most proven perimeter scorers in the league, Thompson has struggled to find any consistency since arriving in Dallas. Across 15 games, he is averaging 14.0 points and 3.1 three-pointers per game, adding very little in terms of peripheral numbers.

• Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Muted performance in win

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson closed with five points (1-11 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one block and two steals over 25 minutes during Sunday's 121-119 victory over Oklahoma City. Thompson couldn't get anything going Sunday, but the Mavericks managed to improve to 7-7 on the season. This was Thompson's third dud in a row, and fantasy managers will be hoping he can break out of this mini-slump soon. In his last three games, he's shooting 31.4 percent from the field and 29.1 percent from beyond the arc.

• Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Posts 22 points against former team

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson provided 22 points (7-17 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 loss to the Warriors. Thompson received a home-town welcome at the Chase Center Tuesday night. Thompson was an 11-year fixture with the Warriors, and he gave his former teammates a little taste of what they're missing with a barrage of three-pointers. He logged one of his best totals as a Maverick in the narrow loss, and it was his highest point total since the opening game against the Spurs.

• Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Shooting slump continues

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson had 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 114-113 loss to the Suns. Thompson has been relegated to the role of being a third option in the Mavs' offensive scheme behind Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, and he's definitively struggling to adjust to having fewer touches than ever in his career. Thompson's efficiency has been affected as well. He's failed to reach the 15-point mark in three of his four appearances this month, shooting a meager 33.3 percent from deep in that span.

• Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Scores 12 points vs. Rockets

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Thompson finished with 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 loss to the Rockets. Thompson was the third-leading scorer for the Mavericks on Thursday behind Luka Doncic (29) and Kyrie Irving (28), though Thompson was inefficient from three-point range. As the third option on offense, Thompson has averaged 12.8 field-goal attempts per game (his lowest since the 2011-12 regular season), 9.8 of which are coming from three-point range, which is exactly what he was brought into Dallas for. Through the first five games of the regular season, he's averaging 15.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals over 29.4 minutes per game.
