NBA 2018-19: 3 Takeaways from Dallas' win over Clippers

#3 DeAndre Jordan is what Mavericks have been missing

Dallas Mavericks v Los Angeles Lakers

Dallas Mavericks were one of the worst rebounding teams in the league for the past two seasons and it hurt them massively leaving them at the low end of the Western Conference.

Now, with the signing of DeAndre Jordan in free agency, they have filled a vital hole in their starting lineup and it showed against Jordan's old team the Clippers. Jordan found 23 rebounds including 6 offensive rebounds to add to his 16 points and 3 assists in the 34 minutes played. Jordan is currently sitting third on the least of best rebounders in the league at 13.7 per game, only behind Andre Drummond and Hassan Whiteside.

Had Jordan still been on the Clippers for this game, the result very well may have gone the other way with the big man being the difference on the glass and both ends of the floor.
