In a decisive victory over the Chicago Bulls, the Mavericks’ starter sets a record.
Gafford scores his points with putbacks, dunks, and touches around the hoop. He is a career 70% shooter. Nevertheless, the recently bought Mavs Center is accomplishing amazing things. He’s made 28 field goals in a row. He is currently seven points short of Wilt Chamberlain’s 1967 record, the all-time high.
On February 8, the NBA trade deadline, Daniel Gafford was acquired through a deal with the Washington Wizards. In return for Gafford, the Mavs traded Richaun Holmes and a 2024 first-round pick to the Wizards.
The Mavericks acquired the player in order to strengthen their big-man lineup. He offers them superior rim protection defensively. He provides them with an additional offensive rim-running option.
His points were anticipated to come primarily from being the roll option in the pick-and-roll, as he was one of the six players this season to not try a three. He has benefited greatly from having Luka Dončić, a phenomenal point guard. Since joining the Mavericks, Gafford has averaged 10.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks.
