“I think Jalen is going to be a superstar in this league. He’s already a star. They’ve got a great guy here, so they should build around him.”
Green has had his best performances against the Mavericks in six career games. November 16 Green led the Rockets to a 101-92 road victory. He had 17 points, seven rebounds and six assists as Doncic watched from the sidelines at the American Airlines Center.
