KEY GAME INFORMATION
PHOENIX: The Suns are resisting any urge to add high-salary veterans, if they could, for a quick fix to maybe contend for the last one or two playoff spots in the tough Western Conference. Instead, they are sticking with the young core they hope will develop into a contender, although it might take a few years. Devin Booker, already a prolific scorer, will look to expand his game and continue his development as one of the NBA's top players. Josh Jackson was the fourth overall pick in the draft out of Kansas and has made an immediate impression in the preseason with his scoring, defense and rebounding. His tough persona fills a Suns need, too. Just 20 years old, he fits right in with the Suns long-term plans build from within and eventually climb back into contention. But wins could be few and far between in this, the franchise's 50th year.
DALLAS: The Mavericks will have to overachieve to avoid missing the playoffs in a second straight season for the first time since their abysmal decade of 1990s was wrapping up. They need a big contribution from center Nerlens Noel, who will come off the bench because of the way the roster is constructed and has plenty to prove after failing to get long-term deal and settling for $4.1 million qualifying offer as restricted free agent. Harrison Barnes' continuing development as a go-to scorer can help make things more enjoyable for Dirk Nowitzki, who joins Kobe Bryant as the only players with 20 seasons for one franchise. The key to the team's success could ultimately hinge on Dennis Smith Jr., who was taken ninth overall, the highest draft position for Mavericks since getting Nowitzki in 1998. Already touted by head coach Rick Carlisle as a point guard with skills the Mavericks have never had at that position, Smith will have to assimilate to the NBA game quickly for this team to be competitive. He turns 20 in November.
PREVIEW
Struggling Mavs, Suns meet, try to get on track
 

DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns, two teams struggling to gain some positive traction this season, enter Monday night's matchup on opposite ends of the emotional spectrum.

The Mavs (8-22) were minutes away from a road victory Saturday at San Antonio before the Spurs went on a 13-0 run to steal a game Dallas controlled throughout. At the same time, the Suns (10-21) earned a rare come-from-behind road win at Minnesota.

Now, Dallas needs a win over the Suns to avoid already a fifth losing streak of at least five games this season, while Phoenix looks to notch consecutive victories for the first time since mid-November.

After the Mavs' gut-punch loss Saturday, coach Rick Carlisle gave the team Sunday off to reflect and recuperate on a loss in which Kawhi Leonard, Tony Parker and Danny Green sat out for the Spurs.

Dallas has been playing better of late -- including a win over the Spurs last Tuesday -- but just can't shake making critical crunch-time mistakes that have turned a handful of would-be wins into a lump of frustrating losses.

Mavs coach Rick Carlisle called the end of the 98-96 defeat at San Antonio, in which Dallas turned it over trying to get the ball inbounds that led to a Manu Ginobili game-winning drive and layup, "unforgivable."

"We did everything right to lose," Nowitzki told reporters after the game. "We missed shots offensively, bad turnover, gave them some offensive rebounds, letting Ginobili go left down the stretch to lay it in. We literally had to do everything perfect to lose this one and we did."

Dallas played a fifth consecutive game without rookie point guard Dennis Smith Jr. because of a strained left hip. Smith, who is averaging 14.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists a game, is questionable for Monday's game.

The injury-depleted Suns got a much-needed boost from their newly acquired point guard, Isaiah Canaan, to squeak out the win on the road, where Phoenix is 6-9, two more wins than they have at home.

Canaan made three free throws with six seconds left to take the lead against the Timberwolves. It was part of a 15-point, seven-assist, five-rebound effort in his first game since joining the team Wednesday, and it helped the Suns snap a five-game losing skid.

"Moments like that at the end of the game, having playoff experience definitely helps," Canaan told reporters after the game about his three pressure free throws he calmly made. "Just to be able to calm down and know it's like a regular free throw in a regular part of the game. So when I got fouled I knew I was going to step up to make them."

Canaan, who was playing in his just his second game of this season, the first of which came with the Houston Rockets, called his performance probably the second-best game of this career.

The Suns will need similar contributions from Canaan because Devin Booker, out with a groin injury, isn't expected to return to the lineup until at least Dec. 26.
