|
| |  | 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. | | INDIANA: GUARDS: Indy couldn't find an upgrade on GEORGE HILL this offseason, and losing Lance Stephenson and Paul George means Hill will have to play a more traditional ball-handling role this year . . . RODNEY STUCKEY's combo-guard skills probably make him the best fit alongside Hill. Whether he's up to the task defensively will decide whether he's a full-time player or a time-share guy . . . C.J. MILES will help fill the need for perimeter shooting, especially with Paul George out . . . They have a solid veteran back-up in C.J. WATSON. He's the closest thing to a pure point guard on this roster, and is a bigger need for the second unit than the starting five. FORWARDS: PAUL GEORGE was poised for an MVP run, but he'll now miss the season after a compound leg fracture during Team USA practice. He's no guarantee to ever return at full strength . . . DAVID WEST's floor-spacing, mid-range game is key in this system . . . He was a dud in his first season with the Pacers, but Indy might have no choice but to plug LUIS SCOLA into their thin frontcourt rotation . . . DAMJAN RUDEZ is a stretch-4 with three-point range. He could push Scola for a rotation spot . . . The Pacers are hoping SOLOMON HILL is ready to be a second-unit glue guy . . . LAVOY ALLEN brings size and opposable thumbs . . . They seemingly have little use for CHRIS COPELAND after signing Rudez. CENTERS: As strange as it seems, ROY HIBBERT might benefit most from the departure of Lance Stephenson. The big man was referring to Stephenson when he talked about selfish play. Of course, Hibbert's atrocious performance late last season is a problem in and of itself . . . IAN MAHINMI has size and six fouls to give. |

*Mavericks-Pacers Preview* ==========================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Dallas (45-28) at Indiana (31-41), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Dallas Mavericks are looking to bounce back following a brutal offensive performance.
Putting points on the board could prove difficult without their leading scorer.
Monta Ellis is listed as doubtful heading into Sunday night's road matchup against the Indiana Pacers, who can't seem to get it together.
The Mavericks (45-28) are hoping to avoid a fourth loss in five games after falling 94-76 at San Antonio on Friday. Ellis scored a team best-tying 10 points before exiting with a right calf injury midway through the third quarter.
Averaging 19.1 points, Ellis has played in 248 consecutive games - including the playoffs.
"That's going to make it hard. He's our leading scorer, so that's going to make it more difficult," coach Rick Carlisle told the team's official website. "We'll have to adjust."
Carlisle needs Dirk Nowitzki to find his touch. He's averaged 12.3 points on 36.7 percent shooting during the team's 1-3 slump.
As Nowitzki was held to seven points Friday, the Mavs finished with their second-lowest scoring total of the season and dropped to 10-20 when posting 100 points or fewer. However, they're going up against a Pacers team that's allowed an average of 106.6 points in losing seven of eight.
While Dallas is seventh in the Western Conference, Indiana (31-41) is within one game of Boston for the East's eighth and final playoff spot.
The Pacers snapped a six-game skid with a 103-101 win at Washington on Wednesday behind George Hill's layup with three seconds to go, but their woes resumed the following night in a 111-107 loss at Milwaukee. Indiana cut what was a 23-point deficit to two with 5:42 remaining.
"I'm proud of our fight and how they got back into it but you can't start that way," coach Frank Vogel said. "We have to play better defense and we have to play better offense in the first quarter. If we do those two things we'll be OK. We just have to be assertive."
The Pacers have been outscored in the first quarter in 10 consecutive games, including 34-15 on Thursday. They've scored no more than 15 points in the opening period in three straight contests.
"We have to come out more focused," said George Hill, averaging 26.5 points in the last two games. "You have to be more prepared when you're out there, follow the game plans, and you have to want it a little bit more."
Indiana now returns home, where it has lost four in a row for its longest skid since Jan. 16-29, 2010. The Pacers haven't dropped five straight on their own court since Jan. 19-Feb. 5, 2008.
The Pacers are 4-9 at home against West opponents, though the only win in their last five such games came against NBA-best Golden State on Feb. 22. The Mavs had won each of their first 13 road games against the East before losing their most recent one, 104-87 at No. 1 seed Atlanta on Feb. 25.
Indiana won the first meeting 111-100 in Dallas on Nov. 24. The Pacers shot 13 of 26 from 3-point range, overcoming the absences of Hill, C.J. Watson, Roy Hibbert and David West.
West sat out Thursday with an illness, but he's expected to return for this game. All-Star forward Paul George (broken leg) isn't quite ready to play, and Rodney Stuckey could miss a fourth consecutive game due to a sore left calf.
