7 years agoDallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea filled in well without Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Barea posted 10 points, eight assists and four rebounds in 29 minutes, recording at least five assists in his past six games played. Coach Rick Carlisle stated Smith would be out "a few games" with an ankle injury, which gives Barea a boost in short-term value. The Mavs face the Utah Jazz on Thursday and Barea should be added if you are in need of assists.--Dale Johnson - RotoBaller
