|
| |  | 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. |  | MIAMI: GUARDS: He's a shell of his former self, but the Heat will have to squeeze more regular-season minutes out of DWYANE WADE. His effectiveness could depend on whether or not he finally develops a three-point shot . . . The point guard situation is getting muddied, but the Heat dug deep to re-sign MARIO CHALMERS. He'll top the PG depth chart again . . . NORRIS COLE is likely too small and too erratic to ever be a starter, but he'll continue to play solid minutes with the second unit . . . The Heat seemed to grab SHABAZZ NAPIER on draft night because he's a LeBron James favorite. Now that James is gone, the rookie could be the odd man out in the point guard rotation. He'll have to overcome subpar measurables. FORWARDS: LUOL DENG is most certainly not LeBron James, and he won't fill anything resembling James' new role. He does give them a strong role player, a defensive stopper and secondary scorer . . . JOSH McROBERTS will facilitate the offense at times and generally serve as a floor-spacing, stretch-4. Miami is built to go small with him and Chris Bosh up front . . . DANNY GRANGER is trying to reinvent himself after an injury-filled couple of seasons. He can play both forward spots and might fit best as a stretch-4 in head coach Erik Spoelstra's system . . . UDONIS HASLEM is essentially a mascot during the regular season . . . JAMES ENNIS could break into the rotation later this season. He was tremendous in Summer League play. CENTERS: CHRIS BOSH is the best player on this team by a significant margin. He'll be the focal point of the offense most nights and should flirt with the 20-10 numbers he used to put up in Toronto . . . CHRIS ANDERSEN will often pair with Bosh in the frontcourt, taking some of the defensive heat off Bosh against bigger lineups. Because of this information, no power rating or computer score edges are posted for this game. |

*Mavericks-Heat Preview* ========================
By JACK CASSIDY STATS Writer
Dallas (30-17) at Miami (20-25), 8:00 p.m. EDT
For much of the season, the Dallas Mavericks' elite offense translated into victories and one of the top spots in the Western Conference.
But as the points have diminished, so have the wins.
Mired in a season-worst losing streak, the Mavericks will look to get their scorers back on track Friday night when they visit a Miami Heat team that will be without Dwyane Wade and Luol Deng.
Dallas (30-17) rolled through its first 36 games, grabbing 26 wins behind an offense that led the NBA through Jan. 5 with 109.5 points per game. The Mavericks' 47.7 field-goal percentage was second in the league and they were 15-0 when shooting better than 50 percent.
In the time since, that high-powered offense has ground to a halt. Dallas has averaged 99.6 points and shot 44.8 percent. The Mavericks find themselves in the midst of a four-game skid after Wednesday's 99-94 loss at Houston to a team without Dwight Howard.
"There's no one answer, but we've got to keep up the collective fight," coach Rick Carlisle told the team's official website. "We all own this. We all own losses, we all own what happens when it's a struggling period of time, and that's why we always say we've got to stick together and fight through it."
Monta Ellis scored 33 points against the Rockets - he had 36 at New Orleans two games earlier - but the Mavericks' other backcourt starter has struggled. After averaging 15.4 points and 7.4 assists through his first seven games with Dallas, Rondo has averaged 6.8 points and 6.8 assists since.
Rondo was held scoreless Wednesday, marking the first time in his career that he has recorded zero points with at least 34 minutes of playing time.
"Some of the dynamics have changed," Carlisle said. "But our guys are learning that if Rondo has the ball and he's attacking, they either need to get to open spots or cut and he's going to find them. I just think that's a little adjusting. In some ways, we're on track and making progress."
Miami (20-25) allowed just 87.8 points per game and limited opponents to 40.2 percent shooting while winning six of 10 prior to Tuesday, but it fell apart defensively against Milwaukee. The Bucks shot 54.9 percent and got to the line 30 times as the Heat surrendered their most points since Dec. 3 in a 109-102 loss.
Miami took another injury hit in the defeat as well, losing Wade in the third quarter to a right hamstring strain. Wade won't play Friday and said he could miss two to three weeks.
"While we're having one part play well, we can't even get the other parts on the court, let alone play well," Chris Bosh, who has missed eight games due to injury, told the Heat's official website.
"It's so disappointing not to be at full strength or at least 75 percent. We don't have room for injury."
Luol Deng won't play, either, due to a calf injury, but Chris Andersen is expected to return after sitting out with an elbow injury against Milwaukee.
Deng had a season-high 30 points while Wade and Bosh added 20 apiece against the Mavericks on Nov. 9 as the Heat won 105-96 for their seventh straight victory in the series.
Dallas hasn't beaten Miami since its championship-clinching win in Game 6 of the 2011 NBA Finals.
