Dirk Nowitzki scores big in limited minutes

The Dallas Mavericks celebrated their home opener by blowing out the Utah Jazz. Having built up a 30 point lead in the first half, Dirk Nowitzki got some early season rest. The PF only played 24 minutes but racked up 21 points in the limited action. Another great shooting performance for Dirk as he went 9 for 13 from the field including 2 for 4 from behind the three point line.

Fantasy Impact:

When Dirk has his shot going, the Mavs are going to be unstoppable. After flirting with 50% FG shooting last year, Nowitzki is off to a good start so far. He is 16 for 24 in 2 games so far. Points and great percentages have been Nowitzki's hallmark during his career. That looks to continue this year even has his other numbers drop a touch. As long as Dirk is healthy, he will be a top fantasy option at PF.
