At the same time, it is unknown if other players on the Mavs are going to miss time alongside Kleber.</p><p>To begin the season, Maxi Kleber has been relied upon more in the frontcourt with Kristaps Porzingis sidelined with an injury. In the first nine games of the season, the German forward is averaging 7.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and is shooting an efficient 47.1 percent from three-point range.</p><p>Seeing that Kleber played on Saturday against the Orlando Magic, there could be more players who are forced to isolate themselves away from the team. Though, if Kleber’s situation didn’t occur until Sunday morning, then Dallas could have avoided a possible outbreak.</p><p>Luckily for the Mavs , Rick Carlisle said earlier this week that Porzingis was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-rick-carlisle-teases-kristaps-porzingis-imminent-return/">nearing a return</a> to the lineup. Porzingis is recovering from a torn meniscus that he suffered in the first round of the playoffs in the 2019-2020 season against the Los Angeles Clippers.</p><p>With Porzingis not on the floor, the Mavs have leaned on Luka Doncic to do nearly everything for them on the offensive end. And now with Kleber set to miss time due to COVID-19, Dallas will be even thinner in the frontcourt. Expect Willie Cauley-Stein and Dwight Powell to see more minutes in the next couple of games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

An unexpected thing happened in the Dallas Mavericks <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/dallas-mavericks/">locker room</a> as the big man was surrounded by the media. In response, <a href="https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/1212953836714938370">he asked:</a></p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe class="no-margin"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Big crowd around Maxi Kleber’s locker after he scores a season 18 points on 6-of-7 shooting. “You guys know I’m not Luka, right?” Kleber asks the media.</p><p>— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/1212953836714938370?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 3, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></iframe></figure><p>Kleber has been inserted into the starting line up by head coach Rick Carlisle in place of the injured Kristaps Porzingis. In the two games without the 7-foot-3 Latvian, Kleber’s minutes bumped to 33 minutes per game. Against the Thunder, Kleber put up 14 points and 14 rebounds in 35 minutes. Against the Nets, he had 18 points, four rebounds, and three blocks across 31 minutes of action.</p><p>Apart from catching lobs from Slovenian sensation Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber also lights it up from deep. In the last two games, the 27-year-old shot a combined 7-of-13 from deep or 53.8 percent. Peep the clip below to see Kleber’s offensive arsenal <a href="https://twitter.com/dallasmavs/status/1212949958250266624?6624">on display.</a></p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe class="no-margin"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Maxi scored a season-high 18 points to go along with three blocks and three triples!<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/MaxiKleber?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MaxiKleber</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MFFL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MFFL</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://t.co/qP1uQ8cP0i">pic.twitter.com/qP1uQ8cP0i</a></p><p>— Dallas Mavericks (@dallasmavs) <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/dallasmavs/status/1212949958250266624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 3, 2020</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></iframe></figure><p>Perhaps Porzingis’ absence was a blessing in disguise. The Mavs are not just all about the Unicorn and Doncic. They have a very deep line up, too. Seth Curry, Tim Hardaway Jr., Dwight Powell, Justin Jackson, and Maxi Kleber all have the ability to perform well on any given night.</p><p>The Mavs and Maxi Kleber will move on to the second game of their six-game homestand against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. Porzingis is expected to return next week, starting with their duel with the Chicago Bulls on Monday.</p><p>As such, Maxi Kleber will likely head back to the bench.</p><p>The last two games were clear indicators that when given an opportunity, Maxi Kleber can be a very productive player.</p><p>—</p><p><i>Follow ClutchPoints on </i><a href="https://twitter.com/clutchpointsapp"><i>Twitter</i></a><i> &amp; </i><a href="https://www.instagram.com/clutchpoints/?hl=en"><i>Instagram</i></a><i>, and like us on </i><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClutchPoints/"><i>Facebook</i></a><i>.
