Dallas Mavericks forward Kristaps Porzingis will miss his second straight playoff game Tuesday due to right knee soreness, the team announced, according to the Dallas Morning News' Brad Townsend.
Porzingis was a late scratch prior to Sunday's Game 4, a contest the Mavs won in overtime on the heroics of Luka Doncic. The series is tied 2-2.
After being ejected from Game 1, Porzingis produced two big outings in a row, scoring 23 and 34 points in Games 2 and 3, respectively. However, the Mavs are 3.8 points per 100 possessions better offensively so far in the playoffs without him.
Dallas went smaller and started Trey Burke in Porzingis' place in Game 4.
