Curious ... KP has now played about 75 games with the Mavs. What has been his best stretch of games and is KP's presence translating to wins?
Mavs are .500 with KP and without KP this year and until the Nets game KP has been terrible on defense so if you're looking for a solid stretch of play, I think you have to look at last season.
People often bring up KP's bubble performance. He has good stats but the Mavs only won two overtime games and lost four. By my count KP fouled out of half the bubble games.
KP also put up solid numbers from Jan 31 through the shutdown last season... that's 15 games but the Mavs were 8-7 over that stretch. Doncic missed 7 of those games and the Mavs were 4-3.
