Minus superstars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, Dallas have fallen below .500 following a 104-88 blowout at home to Western Conference rivals Memphis.

As the race for the NBA playoffs enters the home stretch, Australian Josh Green started and did his best to fill the void on Monday night.

The 22-year-old had 11 points in the first half on 5-of-8 shooting as the Mavericks took a 50-49 lead into halftime.

But an 11-0 run to start the second half saw the Grizzlies, still without their own superstar in Ja Morant, never again headed and going on to improve their record to 41-26.

Green finished with 23 points, five rebounds and seven assists just two days after his 21-point, 10-rebound double-double in the 112-108 loss to the same opposition in Tennessee.

Doncic and Irving sat out a second consecutive game against Memphis, Doncic dealing with a left thigh strain and Irving a sore right foot.

Jaden Hardy had a game-high 29 points for Dallas, who dropped to 34-35 for eighth in the West and hanging on to a play-in spot.

Desmond Bane top-scored for the second-ranked Grizzlies with 23 points and rookie David Roddy had 19.

Elsewhere, Detroit beat Indiana 117-97, Minnesota thumped Atlanta 136-115 and Miami came home strong to defeat Utah 119-115.
