|
| |  | DENVER: GUARDS: TY LAWSON has emerged as the closest thing to a No. 1 option on this team, and despite his size, he's proven capable of playing full-time minutes. He'll continue to post big numbers in an up-tempo system that suits him perfectly . . . ANDRE MILLER will both back up Lawson and share the court with him at times (though Andre Iguodala figures to play a lot of two this season). The steady veteran is one of the league's most underrated sixth men . . . It's a bit surprising that EVAN FOURNIER is making the jump to the NBA this year. His size and skill combo will be nice on the wing one day, but he's unlikely to contribute this year . . . JULYAN STONE will be out until January after offseason hip surgery, but he should be Lawson's main backup upon his return. FORWARDS: DANILO GALLINARI is their most complete offensive player. If healthy, he's capable of being a 20-PPG scorer . . . ANDRE IGUODALA should enjoy the much faster pace Denver plays at. He'll see full-time minutes between both wing spots . . . KENNETH FARIED isn't a skilled big, but he's a high-energy guy who can get his own points off offensive rebounds . . . WILSON CHANDLER could end up leading their second unit in minutes and points . . . COREY BREWER is a front office favorite. He'll stay in the rotation as a defensive presence/glue guy . . . JORDAN HAMILTON could break into the rotation. He's one-dimensional, but has the offensive skills . . . Denver will try to solve the ANTHONY RANDOLPH riddle. Don't expect it to happen this year. CENTERS: Denver is all-in on internet punchline JaVALE McGEE. They'll give the athletic 7-footer every chance to become the star they think he can be. Whether the flaky McGee can capitalize is questionable . . . TIMOFEY MOZGOV is one of the NBA's best screeners, but his touches will be limited . . . KOSTA KOUFOS has quietly developed into a usable rotation player, but he might be squeezed out of minutes. | | DALLAS: GUARDS: DARREN COLLISON's jump shot might be shaky, but he can get into the lane at will. He'll be a much different look than Jason Kidd had been in Big D . . . O.J. MAYO becomes the second option in this offense. He'll have the ball in his hands a lot . . . VINCE CARTER will come off the bench. At this point, he's a three-point specialist, and not a very good one . . . DELONTE WEST will back up both guard spots. Don't be surprised if he overtakes Collison at some point . . . RODDY BEAUBOIS can heat up in an instant, but he has work to do to make this rotation . . . DAHNTAY JONES is roster filler . . . DOMINIQUE JONES enters the year on the roster bubble . . . JARED CUNNINGHAM will learn the point guard position watching from the bench as a rookie. FORWARDS: After a slow start last season, DIRK NOWITZKI looked like the Dirk of old in the second half of the year. He's still got something left in the tank, but it's still unclear if the swelling in his knee will require surgery, something that would shelve him for more than a month . . . SHAWN MARION is still an important cog in Carlisle's creative defensive gameplans, so he'll keep playing big minutes despite his dwindling offensive skills . . . ELTON BRAND is still relevant, even behind Nowitzki, because of his ability to play some center . . . BRANDAN WRIGHT will be in and out of the rotation again, but he's now relatively healthy and showed signs of being a serviceable rotation player a year ago . . . Rookie Jae CROWDER profiles as a potentially solid second-unit player, but he'll be buried on this depth chart. CENTERS: CHRIS KAMAN gives Dallas some offensive skill at center, but he's not exactly the defensive presence they've needed. He'll log the bulk of the minutes here, but there are going to be a handful of games where the Mavs have to sit him and go small for defensive purposes . . . 27-year-old rookie BERNARD JAMES could fill Ian Mahinmi's old role of a shot-blocker/fouler off the bench.

*Nuggets-Mavericks Preview* ===========================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Denver (16-14) at Dallas (12-17), 8:30 p.m. EDT
Denver coach George Karl said he's seeing more confidence from his team lately. The Nuggets' next opponent might have lost some during a miserable stretch.
While seeking to improve its lackluster road record, Denver will try to take advantage of the struggling Dallas Mavericks and end a three-game skid in the series Friday night.
The Nuggets (16-14) have had few problems at home with nine win in 10 games but they're 7-13 on the road.
Denver, though, might be carrying a different attitude into this weekend's two-game trip after handing the surging Los Angeles Lakers a 126-114 defeat Wednesday. Corey Brewer tied a career high with 27 points, and Kenneth Faried and Ty Lawson were among the other players who also shined.
Faried had 21 points and 15 rebounds, while Lawson contributed 17 points and had his best assist-to-turnover ratio in any game at 14:0.
"It was just good to see us shoot the ball and beat a good team with some confidence," Karl said. "I just think the last couple of games, we have been playing with a little more confidence and more awareness of how to win close games."
The Nuggets will try to use that confidence to avoid a third straight road loss when they face a Mavericks team that's dropped a season-high four in a row and seven of eight.
"(The upcoming road games against Dallas and Memphis) are really important for us," swingman Andre Iguodala told the team's website. "We have to focus in and take care of the first one in Dallas."
Darren Collison's 3-pointer at the end of regulation Thursday in Oklahoma City gave Dallas (12-17) a chance to snap its skid but it fell 111-105 in overtime.
Collison had a season-high 32 points but star forward Dirk Nowitzki scored only nine on 3-of-11 shooting in his second game back from knee surgery.
"I think that I'm a week or two away of really dominating the ball down the stretch and making some stuff happen," Nowitzki said. "I don't really have that bounce in my step yet, but I'll keep working. As long as the knee responds the right way, I think my legs will come back sooner or later."
Dallas used Nowitzki's 33 points, 11 rebounds and six assists for a 112-95 win over Denver in the most recent matchup March 19, but he scored only 12 points in the latest visit from the Nuggets on Feb. 15.
The Mavericks, though, prevailed 102-84 in that game as Shawn Marion had 16 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. Dallas also held Denver to 35.7 percent shooting and a 6-of-27 performance from 3-point range while ending a three-game home skid in the series.
Lawson scored 27 points on 10-of-15 shooting in the final victory of that string, a 115-93 win on Dec. 26, 2011, but has averaged 10.0 points on 28.6 percent shooting (10 of 35) over the last three meetings. He's also missed 12 of 14 attempts from 3-point range over that stretch.
While the Nuggets have struggled on the road, the Mavericks are 8-4 at home and will try to use a return to their floor to avoid their longest skid since dropping six straight Jan. 6-17, 2011.
Dallas could use a better performance from leading scorer O.J. Mayo, who has scored a combined 29 on 10-of-40 shooting over the last four games. He's averaged 19.5 points on 55.4 percent shooting in his last four matchups with Denver.
