Analysis:

Less is always more for Ellis and with his shot not falling again Wednesday, he was more than willing to keep feeding Dirk Nowitzki and company as the Mavs fought through Utah. Ellis shot a season-worse 42 percent in February, and although he hasn't been playing poorly, he's not shooting a great percentage considering a majority of his shots are coming from inside the arc.
