TheDallas Mavericks celebrated the win over the Phoenix Suns inGame 7on Sunday night, but Spencer Dinwiddie had a lot of reasons to enjoy the victory.

One of them was his 30-point-performance in only 25 minutes, his team's second-best next to Luka Doncic. He had 21 of his 26 points at halftime, helping his side reach the Western Conference finals.

Dinwiddie struggled to find his jumper but still averaged over 15 points per game against the Utah Jazz in the Conference quarter-finals. He stepped up big-time vs. last year's finalists and now he's got another cause for celebrations -his contract bonus.

Dinwiddie will cash $571,427 should Dallas reach the conference finals, according to Marc Stein.

If the Dallas Mavericks make it to the NBA finals, Spencer Dinwiddie will add another $400,000 to his bank account, plus one extra dollar if the Mavs win the championship in 2022.

Dinwiddie had a $100,000 bonus in his contract for his team advancing to the second round. So far, he has pocketed around $2.1 million in bonus money.

He signed the deal with the Wizards last offseason before being traded to Dallas in the Kristaps Porzingis deadline day deal.
