|
| |  | SAN ANTONIO: GUARDS: TONY PARKER may not be ageless, as he'll sit a handful of games during the regular season. But when the 32-year-old is on the court, he still gets into the lane whenever he wants . . . He can't do anything off the dribble, but DANNY GREEN is one of the league's elite spot-up shooters . . . MANU GINOBILI will need some regular-season maintenance as far as playing time goes, especially coming off a stress fracture in his leg. He's essential for the postseason . . . MARCO BELINELLI will have a significant role off the bench due to his ability to defend, shoot and do some ball-handling . . . It might be a lost regular season for NBA Finals star PATTY MILLS as he works his way back from shoulder surgery. He hopes to make his season debut in mid-January . . . CORY JOSEPH will pick up a few more minutes while Mills is out. FORWARDS: There's plenty of buzz surrounding KAWHI LEONARD after his Finals MVP performance, though it seems unlikely they'll make him the centerpiece of this offense as long as their vets are still going strong . . . Thirty-eight-year-old TIM DUNCAN is still one of the better power forwards in the league. Just like Parker and Ginobili, he'll take the occasional DNP-CD. His rebounding and shot-blocking rates continue to surge. The only real disappointment last season was that his FT shooting slid back towards his sub-70% career mark . . . JEFF AYRES is one of the new anonymous big men at the end of the San Antonio bench. He'll see a handful of starts when Gregg Popovich rests his star players . . . KYLE ANDERSON is too much of a defensive liability to see major minutes as a rookie, but his versatile skill set suggests he could be Boris Diaw's heir apparent . . . MATT BONNER will hoist some threes during the regular season. CENTERS: Popovich rotates his centers depending on the situation. TIAGO SPLITTER, the more traditional 5, will likely take the bulk of the minutes again . . . BORIS DIAW will play when the offense gets stagnant, especially when opponents go small. | | DALLAS: GUARDS: MONTA ELLIS will be the Mavs' lead guard again, taking on even more ball-handling responsibilities with their black hole at point guard. In his first season in Dallas, he proved to be the perfect fit running pick-and-rolls in head coach Rick Carlisle's system . . . The Mavericks are in trouble if they have to rely on RAYMOND FELTON, a fringe rotation-caliber player even in his brief 'prime,' but he might end up the starter by default . . . JAMEER NELSON's poor defense makes him difficult to pair with Ellis, but offensively he's the best option . . . DEVIN HARRIS is a superior defender and a dangerous offensive player, but the questions are durability and how well he fits alongside Ellis . . . GAL MEKEL struggled offensively, but his defense is going to earn him minutes at both guard spots. He's a borderline rotation guy. FORWARDS: DIRK NOWITZKI came back on a discounted deal, but at age 36 he still has plenty left in the tank. He's a legit All-Star-caliber player . . . Dallas pried CHANDLER PARSONS from Houston, giving the team someone to run the floor with Ellis and shoot some corner threes in the half-court set. He figures to have a slightly smaller role than he did with the Rockets though . . . Last season in Utah, RICHARD JEFFERSON reestablished himself as a rotation player by adding a consistent three-point shot . . . AL-FAROUQ AMINU gives the Mavs an energy guy who can play both forward spots . . . JAE CROWDER will have to fight to keep his spot in the rotation. He has yet to put it together offensively and he needs to add a three-point shot . . . GREG SMITH won't make a significant contribution unless his knee proves healthy. CENTERS: Durability is an underlying issue, but the Mavs were thrilled to bring TYSON CHANDLER back into the fold. He'll be much happier in Carlisle's defensive system than he was in Mike Woodson's switch-everything approach . . . BRANDAN WRIGHT will play fewer minutes behind Chandler as an extra rim protector and rebounder. |

*Spurs-Mavericks Preview* =========================
San Antonio (17-9) at Dallas (19-8), 8:30 p.m. EDT
(AP) - Rajon Rondo wants another ring and knew it probably wasn't happening anytime soon with the rebuilding Celtics.
When Rondo was on his way to Dallas with Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, the four-time All-Star point guard serving as the centerpiece of a five-player trade, championship talk dominated the conversation.
The Mavericks believe they've acquired a key piece to their title hopes in Rondo, who is expected to make his Dallas debut Saturday night against a likely weary San Antonio Spurs team following another triple-overtime defeat.
"To be a contender right away, there's a goal that you have in mind and I'm dying to get a ring again," Rondo said at his introductory news conference Friday. "I want another parade."
The ninth-year player got his first with the Celtics in 2008, and now Rondo is joining 2011 champs Dirk Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler as part of the nucleus of a Dallas team trying to win another title.
Rondo and center Dwight Powell were acquired Thursday for center Brandan Wright, forward Jae Crowder, point guard Jameer Nelson, a first-round draft pick in 2015 and a second-round choice in 2016.
Although he has his lowest scoring average since his 2006-07 rookie season at 8.3, Rondo is averaging an NBA-best 10.8 assists while ranking in the league's top 15 with a 3.16 assist-to-turnover ratio.
He's joining a Dallas team that already leads the league with a 1.96 ratio.
"I view Rondo as an extremely resourceful guy with a lot of ability," coach Rick Carlisle said. "He's a guy that loves winning."
With the addition of Rondo, the Mavericks (19-8) hope to be even better offensively while improving on the defensive end. They're averaging a league-best 110.1 points following Wednesday's 117-106 road win over Detroit.
Chandler Parsons finished with a season-high 32 points, while Monta Ellis added 25. Parsons has hit 20 of 34 from 3-point range in his past five games for Dallas, which has shot 25 for 55 from beyond the arc while winning its last two.
The Mavericks, though, have allowed 107.0 points per game over their past 13. Rondo has a reputation as a solid defender and his 1.7 steals per game are one of the league's highest marks among point guards.
Now he'll try to help Dallas snap a 10-game regular-season losing streak in this series after San Antonio (17-10) pulled out a 101-100 home win in the season opener. Tony Parker had 23 points in that meeting, but he may not get to oppose Rondo after missing seven of the past eight games with a strained hamstring.
Kawhi Leonard is also questionable after sitting the past two games with a torn ligament in his shooting hand.
It's possible more players may be rested after the Spurs suffered their second straight triple-overtime loss Friday, 129-119 to visiting Portland. They're on the verge of dropping four in a row for the first time since a six-game skid late in the 2010-11 season.
"It's different every night (with the injuries), so it keeps them out of rhythm and we are wearing some guys down," coach Gregg Popovich said. "Timmy (Duncan) is a big worry in that respect and so is Manu (Ginobili)."
Duncan certainly isn't showing it, averaging 22.4 points and 13.4 rebounds over his last five games after scoring a season-high 32 on Friday. Danny Green, who scored 27, has totaled 52 points while hitting 13 of 22 from 3-point range in his past two.
It was the first time a team played consecutive triple-overtime games since the Baltimore Bullets in December 1951.
