Nowitzki recorded 20 points (8-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 105-94 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Nowitzki supplied his only double-double of the season in this his final NBA game. While he posted career lows in most statistical categories here in 2018-19, Nowitzki did deliver two throwback performances to finish off his Hall-of-Fame career.

Nowitzki turned in 30 points (11-31 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, and one block in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-109 win over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Nowitzki posted a season high scoring total in this the final home game of his historic career. It may be tough for the 40-year-old legend to fire up this many shots on the second night of a back-to-back. Nevertheless, he's set to take the court one final time during Wednesday's finale versus the Spurs.

Nowitzki (rest) is no longer listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Phoenix.

EDGE Analysis

Nowitzki was held out of Sunday's matchup against Memphis, although he didn't sustain any type of injury. He figures to draw the start in what figures to be the last game in Dallas in his career.

Nowitzki won't return to Sunday's game against Memphis for rest purposes, Bobby Karalla of the Mavericks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dorian Finney-Smith started the second half in place of Nowitzki, and the broadcast revealed shortly after that he won't play at all in the second half. The Mavs appear to be resting Nowitzki for likely the final home game of his spectacular career.

Nowitzki totaled 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and an assist over 25 minutes in the Mavericks' loss to the Grizzlies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Nowitzki drew another start on Friday, his 12th over the last 13 games. The Mavericks are giving a nice sendoff to the franchise's all-time leader in multiple statistical categories as the big man continues to play 20 or more minutes a night. Nowitzki has been highly ineffective in his limited role this season, but the Mavericks are incentivized to lose as much as possible with a top-five protected lottery pick on the line in the upcoming NBA draft.

Nowitzki tallied seven points (2-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds and one block in 27 minutes Sunday in the Mavericks' 106-103 win over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Nowitzki's poor shooting performance sullied his overall numbers, but he at least made up for it to some degree with the season-high rebound total. At a time in the NBA calendar when many teams are shutting down veterans or limiting their playing time, Nowitzki has cleared 25 minutes in three of his past four outings. There's reason to think he may continue to handle meaningful minutes the rest of the way as a final salvo for what will likely be his last NBA season.

Nowitzki (ankle) came back onto the court to finish out pregame warmups ahead of Thursday's contest against the Heat, Bobby Karalla of the Mavericks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nowitzki's trip to the locker room was a short one, and he was spotted in layup lines just before tipoff. He appears to be good to go for Thursday's clash.

Nowitzki appeared to tweak his ankle during pregame warmups and went back to the locker room for further evaluation, Bobby Karalla of the Mavericks' official site reports. His status for Thursday's game against Miami is unknown at this time.

EDGE Analysis

Nowitzki has started seven of the last eight games for the Mavericks, but Maxi Kleber could be slated to crack the starting lineup following this latest development. Another update on Nowitzki's status should come shortly before tipoff.

Nowitzki poured in 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and added five rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 26 minutes in the Mavericks' 126-91 win over the Warriors on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Nowitzki returned to the starting five and enjoyed a stellar night against the short-handed Warriors, especially from distance. The 20-year veteran's scoring total was his highest of the campaign, and it served as his third double-digit point tally of March. Despite the strong performance, Nowitzki's minutes were stuck in the teens in five of the prior six games, so expectations should be tempered.

Nowitzki will start Saturday's matchup against Golden State, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

After one game on the bench, Nowitzki will return to the starting five. In 10 games as a starter this season, he's averaging 9.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 20.7 minutes.
