The Dallas Mavericks played host to former head coach Rick Carlisle and the Indiana Pacers, grabbing a 107-105 win in a relatively ugly affair. Unexpected players stepped up in a big way to eek out the win, but the injury list grew when Anthony Davis checked out midway through the first quarter.

Let’s get to the grades!

COOPER FLAGG: A-

15 PTS / 10 REB / 4 AST / 0 STL / 1 BLK – 35 MIN

Coming into the grading, not many “A” rankings were on my mind. The game was relatively ugly and something of a futility match. That said, a double-double in his fifth ever NBA game, on 6-for-11 shooting and a perfect 3-for-3 from the free throw line gets you there in this one. Despite a negative plus/minus, Flagg had a very solid game with only two turnovers and two fouls.

MAX CHRISTIE: C

10 PTS / 2 RE
