KEY GAME INFORMATION
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.
HOUSTON: GUARDS: The postseason was a different story for JAMES HARDEN, but he was a dominant all-around performer during the past two regular seasons. He'll do the bulk of the ball-handling for the up-tempo Rockets . . . After looking for an upgrade during the offseason, it's back to PATRICK BEVERLEY at the point. He's the No. 4 or 5 option on offense, but his defense will keep him on the floor . . . There's little backcourt depth, so rookie NICK JOHNSON has a shot at the rotation. He's NBA-ready as a defender, but his offensive game is shaky . . . ISH SMITH will push for that back-up point guard job . . . ISAIAH CANAAN will have to shoot the lights out early to get a look in the rotation . . . FRANCISCO GARCIA is still here as a 3-and-D option. FORWARDS: TREVOR ARIZA slides into Chandler Parsons' old role, providing defense and three-point shooting. He has a chance for a career-best output offensively . . . The Rockets know they need an upgrade over TERRENCE JONES, but they struck out during the offseason. He's a hustle guy, but he's too much of a defensive liability at the 4-spot . . . After disappearing last season, DONATAS MOTIEJUNAS has a chance to play himself into a thin frontcourt rotation. He's a potential 7-foot floor spacer . . . JEFF ADRIEN will be a "little things" guy in the second unit . . . They wanted to leave CLINT CAPELA overseas, but he'll be in Houston. He might be the future at the 4-spot, but he's years away . . . KOSTAS PAPANIKOLAOU has potential as a versatile bench option. CENTERS: DWIGHT HOWARD looked healthy again and was, at times, dominant. His game still has obvious flaws, namely free-throw shooting and an inability to step away from the basket, but there's no reason he can't flirt with 20-10 nightly while being among the league leaders in blocks . . . Ex-Rocket JOEY DORSEY returns after a strong stint in Spain. He'll bring some muscle (and six fouls) behind Howard.

*Mavericks-Rockets Preview* ===========================

By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer

Dallas (9-3) at Houston (9-3), 8:00 p.m. EDT

The Dallas Mavericks made a huge splash this offseason when they lured Chandler Parsons away from the Houston Rockets.

While the Rockets have managed just fine without him, Dwight Howard's absence has become a concern.

Parsons faces his former team for the first time looking to lift the Mavericks to a seventh straight victory Saturday night in Houston.

Parsons spent the first three seasons of his career with the Rockets before agreeing to a three-year, $46 million deal with Dallas in July. Houston allowed Parsons to become a restricted free agent despite having him under contract for one more season and could have kept him but chose not to match Dallas' offer.

He's averaging 14.5 points after scoring 21 in Friday's 140-106 rout of the Lakers, the Mavericks' sixth consecutive win. Dirk Nowitzki had 23 points in 21 minutes, while Monta Ellis scored 20 to go with 10 of the team's season-high 37 assists.

Eight players scored in doubles figures as Dallas shot 62.2 percent.

The Mavericks (10-3), leading the league with 111.3 points per game, have averaged 118.7 during their winning streak. They haven't posted seven consecutive victories since 2010-11, when they went on to win the NBA championship.

Dallas now plays for a second straight night, but all of its starters were rested in the fourth quarter of Friday's blowout.

"We've just got to get to the plane quick, get there, get some rest and get ready," coach Rick Carlisle said. "(The Rockets are) sitting there with two days' rest. There's an advantage for them, but I like how our team played tonight."

Houston (9-3) couldn't keep up with Los Angeles in Wednesday's 98-92 defeat with Howard (knee) on the sidelines. The Rockets were outscored 38-20 in the paint and outrebounded 14-6 on the offensive glass, dropping to 0-2 when their All-Star center doesn't play.

Howard, who isn't expected to suit up Saturday, is averaging 27.7 points on 66.7 percent shooting in his last three games against the Mavericks.

"Everything's not going to be perfect, everything's not going to go according to plan every single night, we just have to find a way to win," point guard Patrick Beverley said. "Of course we want our big horse riding with us, but we can't control injuries, and it's time for someone else to step up."

Rookie Tarik Black should draw a second consecutive start if Howard can't go. He finished with five points on 2-of-6 shooting and five boards Wednesday.

Aside from Howard, the Rockets are also without Terrence Jones due to a leg injury. The duo is averaging a combined 32.8 points and 18.8 rebounds.

"Not having he and Terrence really hurts us, no question," coach Kevin McHale said.

James Harden had 24 points against the Lakers but committed six of the team's 17 turnovers. Harden is averaging a league-high 4.2 turnovers and shooting what would be a career-worst 38.6 percent.

"We'll watch some film, bounce back and be ready for Saturday night," he said.

Dallas and Houston both averaged 113.5 points in splitting four games last season. Nowitzki averaged 34.7 points on 62.7 percent shooting in the last three meetings.

"I treat Dallas like I treat the Lakers, treat the Lakers like I treat Memphis, treat Memphis like I treat OKC. They're our next opponent, and that's all that matters right now," Beverley said.

"They put a good team together, a really good team. Everyone knows their roles really well, good rollers, good poppers. Of course Dirk is Dirk, a lot of good guards. Of course Chandler can play the three and the four. They're really talented."
