DAL vs SAC ScoutingDAL vs SAC Scouting
Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

DeRozan scores 42 points, including OT winner, as Kings edge depleted Mavericks 129-128
DALLAS -- — DeMar DeRozan scored a season-high 42 points, including a baseline floater with 2 seconds left in overtime, and the Sacramento Kings beat the depleted Dallas Mavericks 129-128 on Monday night.
Zach LaVine and Malik Monk each scored 17 points for the Kings in the opener of a three-game trip. Domantas Sabonis had 16 points and 15 rebounds.
The Mavericks lost center Daniel Gafford to a sprained right knee after he had a knee-to-knee collision with Monk early in the second quarter.
Dallas already was playing without power forwards Anthony Davis and P.J. Washington , and centers Dereck Lively II and Dwight Powell — all because of injuries.
Kyrie Irving scored 30 points for the Mavericks. Irving was added to the All-Star roster earlier in the day, replacing Davis.
Takeaways Kings: Improved to 14-8 under interim coach Doug Christie after going 13-18 under Mike Brown, who was fired Dec. 27. Sabonis leads the NBA with 47 double-doubles in 50 games.
Mavericks: On the night when Luka Doncic made his Los Angeles Lakers debut after he was part of the Feb. 1 trade that brought Davis to Dallas, multiple fans were escorted out of American Airlines Center from a group that chanted his name during multiple free-throw situations.
Key moment The Mavericks’ final possession ended with Spencer Dinwiddie called for an offensive foul at midcourt.
Key stat The Kings led 18-5 in second-chance points and outrebounded the Mavericks 50-33.
Up next On Wednesday, the Kings will play the first of back-to-back games at New Orleans to finish their play before the All-Star break while the Mavericks will host Golden State.
