Phoenix Suns: Player grades from a dramatic win over the Mavericks

Dario just keeps playing
Grade: B+

Dario Saric keeps on doing good things for the Phoenix Suns, and he is going to make the decision on his impending restricted free agency a tough one.

After losing his starting lineup spot to Mikal Bridges and then again to Cameron Johnson, Saric keeps coming off the bench and providing hustle, energy, and a viable scoring option, which is exactly what the second unit needs.

In this game, he had 13 points and eight rebounds, including a huge corner 3 during the Suns’ tremendous third-quarter comeback.

He also played Porzingis about as well as he could, as he slid into the 5-spot for a long stretch when Ayton was in foul trouble and Kaminsky was on the bench.

Dario is another guy who isn’t flashy, but his play makes it difficult for Monty to keep him off the floor.
