|
| |  | DALLAS: GUARDS: MONTA ELLIS slides into the 2-guard spot vacated by O.J. Mayo. He should benefit from the attention Dirk Nowitzki gets and from playing alongside a pure point guard . . . JOSE CALDERON is a defensive liability, but he should have the Mavs' offense running more smoothly . . . VINCE CARTER has become one of the league's better sixth men. He'll see plenty of minutes for a team that figures to frequently play small ball . . . When healthy, DEVIN HARRIS should be the defensive side of a platoon with Calderon . . . Israeli star GAL MEKEL should be able to help at both guard spots on a part-time basis . . . WAYNE ELLINGTON has yet to prove he can do anything with second-unit minutes . . . After breaking his foot, SHANE LARKIN is looking at a redshirt year. FORWARDS: Last season was a bit of a lost season for DIRK NOWITZKI, who missed the beginning of the year after knee surgery and didn't get going until late. Health, as well as the arrival of a true point guard in Jose Calderon, should allow him to bounce back nicely . . . SHAWN MARION had a nice resurgence last season, and he should have at least one good season left as he plays for another contract . . . JAE CROWDER has a chance to establish himself as the heir apparent to Marion. He's a hustle guy right now, and whether he can be more will depend on whether he develops his jump shot . . . RICKY LEDO was a favorite NBA draft sleeper for many experts. But while the skilled wing has NBA talent, he also has a reputation for being a bad seed. Ledo is almost certainly headed to the D-League for now. CENTERS: SAMUEL DALEMBERT is a sad consolation prize in the Dwight Howard derby. He'll likely step in as a starter . . . BRANDAN WRIGHT has never been able to overcome injuries. He could end up splitting time with Dalembert . . . DEJUAN BLAIR will provide energy and offense at the four and five . . . BERNARD JAMES should continue to develop as a rim protector. | | CLEVELAND: GUARDS: There are some durability concerns, but KYRIE IRVING is on the verge of stardom. He should benefit from the arrival of Anthony Bennett, the kind of pick-and-roll weapon Cleveland has lacked . . . DION WAITERS is still a work-in-progress defensively, and this will likely be another developmental year. He might end up settling in as the leader of the second unit . . . JARRETT JACK seems likely to close out games, even if he doesn't technically start. He's a creative shot-maker who will play close to starter's minutes . . . C.J. MILES is more of a situational three-point threat. SERGEY KARASEV, a polished Euro import, could push him for that role . . . CARRICK FELIX doesn't figure to crack this rotation. FORWARDS: No. 1 overall pick ANTHONY BENNETT will see time at both forward spots, and he'll be a pick-and-pop weapon no matter where he's playing. The question is whether he'll defend well enough to stay on the court for 30 minutes . . . There should also be enough minutes for TRISTAN THOMPSON, who hasn't quite put it together. The 22-year-old has upside though, and is a bigger part of Cleveland's future than Anderson Varejao . . . EARL CLARK gives the Cavs a quality second unit player who can play extended minutes if Bennett is overmatched defensively . . . A starter last year, ALONZO GEE figures to be a second-unit glue guy, but might be looking at a lot of DNP-CDs. CENTERS: ANDERSON VAREJAO is once again healthy and once again trade bait. No matter what the starting lineup looks like, he'll play major minutes at the four and five . . . The Cavs are taking a flier on ANDREW BYNUM. With his knee problems, it'd be surprising if he could give them 20-plus good minutes per night . . . TYLER ZELLER is likely the odd man out until Varejao is dealt or Bynum gets injured. |

*Mavericks-Cavaliers Preview* =============================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Dallas (24-18) at Cleveland (15-25), 1:00 p.m. EDT
After finishing with a winning record on their longest road trip of the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers return home feeling good.
The Dallas Mavericks are looking to put an ugly performance behind them.
The Cavaliers look to build on another victory and snap their recent woes against Dallas on Monday afternoon.
Cleveland (15-25) was in high spirits after closing a 3-2 trek with Friday's 117-109 win at Denver. Kyrie Irving led five Cavaliers in double figures with 23 points and Tristan Thompson scored 20 to go along with 10 rebounds.
"Obviously it is a good road win for us and a good way to finish out our road trip. ... Give our guys credit for hanging in there," coach Mike Brown said. "We are competing defensively. I think it is just a simple formula. We are moving the basketball and trying to play for one another. We are getting a little better each time we step on the floor."
C.J. Miles also came up big with 19 points, and Luol Deng added 18 despite shooting 6 of 17.
"I think guys are excited. The biggest thing with winning really is just coming together as the game goes on," said Deng, who is averaging 23.3 points over the last three games. "We just have to keep making progress. When you're winning it's fun."
Controlling the glass could prove crucial as Cleveland goes for a fifth win in seven games. The Cavaliers are averaging 49.9 boards in their victories compared to 41.2 in their defeats.
Anderson Varejao ranks among the NBA leaders with 13.7 rebounds per game since rejoining the starting lineup Dec. 28. Thompson has pulled down 10.5 boards over an 11-game stretch.
"Our bigs did a great job of rebounding this whole entire trip," Irving said. "Tristan and (Varejao) were really competing as well as (Deng) bringing his energy. ... We need that consistently."
The Cavaliers could find success on the boards given that the Mavericks are one of the league's worst rebounding teams at 40.0 per game. Cleveland has been a bit vulnerable defensively, allowing an average of 112.2 points in its last five games, while Dallas is averaging 112.0 points in its last six.
The Mavericks (24-18) have taken five of six in this series while surrendering 93.0 points per game.
Dallas, in contrast, came out with one of its worst defensive displays of the season in Saturday's 127-111 loss to Portland.
The Mavericks allowed the Trail Blazers to shoot 51.1 percent and fell behind by as many as 38 before outscoring Portland 41-23 in the fourth quarter with the game out of reach. Dallas had won four of its previous five.
"We regressed tonight. The first three quarters are beyond embarrassing," coach Rick Carlisle told the team's official website. "We weren't playing together. We weren't helping each other. Do that against a quality team ... and they're going to make you pay a heavy price."
Dirk Nowitzki, who had posted 25.4 points per game during Dallas' 4-1 run, was held to 18 while shooting 6 of 17. Shawn Marion scored three on 1 of 6 from the field.
"We've got to find a way to compete a little harder," Nowitzki said. "Everybody's just got to work a little harder."
Mavericks guard Devin Harris scored six points in 17 minutes in his season debut after working his way back from toe surgery.
Irving is averaging 23.0 points and shooting 52.6 percent in two matchups versus Dallas. Deng has compiled 23.0 per game while shooting 53.1 percent in his last three against the Mavericks.
