Santi Aldama helps solve problems plaguing the Mavericks’ offense
The Dallas Mavericks decimated the Brooklyn Nets in a 130-93 victory on Sunday, earning their largest margin of victory this season. After dropping consecutive contests to the Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs, Dallas bounced back with wins over the Utah Jazz and Brooklyn to move two games above .500.
In these back-to-back victories, the Mavericks' offense has improved in several areas, and that turnaround coincides with Santi Aldama's return to the lineup.
Against Utah, Dallas shot just 41.9 percent from the field and 28.1 percent from beyond the arc, which isn't exactly an efficient offensive showing. However, Dallas outrebounded Utah 21-8 on the offensive glass, leading to a 21-5 advantage in second-chance points. Aldama corralled nine rebounds against the Jazz, four of which came on the offensive glass. He even converted one of those offensive rebounds into a second-chance basket of his own.

The veteran is expected to suit up and play on Friday night. He has yet to make his season debut thanks to a knee issue that he has been recovering from, but he seems to be nearly full health at this point and is probable to play against the Jazz. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to see a full workload for his first few games back at least, however.

Santi Aldama impressive in his first game with Mavericks
It didn’t take Santi Aldama very long to show the Dallas Mavericks that he’s going to be an impactful player for them this season.
Aldama made his Mavs' debut with 8:03 remaining in the second quarter of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Thirty-four seconds later, he grabbed an offensive rebound and scored.
On the Mavs’ next trip up the court, Aldama passed the ball to P.J. Washington, who drained a three-pointer, giving Aldama his first assist as a Maverick.
By the time the Mavs wound up beating the Jazz, 112-100, Aldama had played 13 minutes and finished with eight points and nine rebounds. That was more rebounds than any player on the Jazz could collect.
