NBA 2018-19: 3 Things we learned from Dallas Mavericks vs Brooklyn Nets

#3 Harrison Barnes is getting back to his best

Dallas Mavericks v Chicago Bulls

After a fairly average start to this season, which was following an injury-ravaged 2017/18 outing, Harrison Barnes finally looks like he is back to hitting his stride in the NBA.

A season-high 28 points against the Brooklyn Nets, reminded all of us that Barnes is an extremely underrated talent that can take over a game in a moments notice. Barnes was five from eight from beyond the arc and has been increasing his output in each game over the past week and a half.

While only averaging 16 points this season so far, down from his previous two seasons of 18 and 19 points per game, Barnes has hit over 20 points rather frequently in the past week and looks to be more confident in his shot than ever.

If Barnes can continue to play at a high level, along with Doncic and Jordan, the Dallas Mavericks could very well be making their return to the playoffs in what could be Dirk Nowitzki's last season in the NBA.
