Hollinger's All-Hardship Team:
Marquese Chriss, Dallas — Marquese Chriss never really should have been out of the league, but he had a season-ending broken leg in 2020-21; the omicron wave gave him a perfect opportunity to get back in the mix. In 10 games with Dallas, he’s already moved into the Mavs regular big man rotation — he scored 13 points in 13 minutes against Milwaukee and 15 in 14 minutes against Oklahoma City and is shooting 57.8 percent from the floor. The Mavs figure to make other roster moves to be able to keep him once his current hardship deal expires, likely by waiving or trading Willie Cauley-Stein.
