|
| | | 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.
| | INDIANA: GUARDS: The Pacers went 7-2 during the regular season and won a playoff series with GEORGE HILL in the starting five. He averaged 13.9 PPG and 5.3 APG in those regular season starts . . . PAUL GEORGE is a defensive stopper who is making strides on the offensive end. If he can find the touches, his scoring average will rise . . . D.J. AUGUSTIN has a skill set similar to Hill's. Maybe he'll push him for minutes later in the year, but more likely he'll shoot corner threes off the bench . . . GERALD GREEN is another athlete for their second unit . . . LANCE STEPHENSON has a chance for a bigger role, but he's been atrocious to this point of his career. FORWARDS: DANNY GRANGER's touches dropped last season, but his shot selection improved as last year went on. He'll continue to be a borderline All-Star . . . DAVID WEST's knee should be fully recovered from his torn ACL in late 2010-11. He was their best player in the postseason and should be a star this season with his ability to knock down shots . . . TYLER HANSBROUGH looks like he's settling in as a career second unit player. His lack of athleticism really limits his upside . . . JEFF PENDERGRAPH may or may not hold on to a roster spot in a 12th-man role. CENTERS: They're paying ROY HIBBERT like a franchise player, and he has the ability to control both ends of the court. The question is whether they'll now play him 30-plus minutes, or continue to use him as more of a part-time player . . . IAN MAHINMI should step in as a decent backup center . . . Rookie MILES PLUMLEE was a part-time player at Duke and is highly unlikely to contribute in his first season. |

*Mavericks-Pacers Preview* ==========================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Dallas (5-4) at Indiana (3-6), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The short-handed Dallas Mavericks ended a losing streak earlier this week by taking advantage of a struggling team. They'll get to face another one in their next game.
The Indiana Pacers, who like the Mavericks are missing their perennial scoring leader, will try to earn only their second win in seven games Friday night in Indianapolis.
Dallas has played its first nine games without Dirk Nowitzki, who is recovering from knee surgery, while Shawn Marion has missed the past five contests due to a sprained knee ligament.
With those two players out, the Mavericks dropped three straight games before topping winless Washington 107-101 on Wednesday. Leading scorer O.J. Mayo had a team-best 25 points, and Chris Kaman provided 23 on 10-of-12 shooting during his first start in a week.
"We'll take it right now. Being on that three-game schneid wasn't too good, so we'll take it and take it with us on the road," Mayo told the team's website.
The Mavericks (5-4) will next seek to snap a three-game road skid during the first in a set of back-to-back games. That stretch concludes with a visit to Cleveland.
Coach Rick Carlisle would first like to see a better performance from his team, which nearly blew an 18-point fourth-quarter lead Wednesday.
"We've got to be honest with ourselves about how we're playing," Carlisle said. "We're playing a brand of basketball that isn't where it needs to be. We've got to be get better, so we've got practice (Thursday) and then a tough back-to-back. We've got to be patient but persistent with the team."
Dallas will seek that improved effort against a Pacers team that's eager to avoid its own three-game skid. Indiana (3-6) shot a combined 34.8 percent in Tuesday's 74-72 loss to Toronto and Wednesday's 99-85 setback in Milwaukee.
The Pacers were 5 of 20 from 3-point range (25.0) against the Bucks and trailed by 32 points early in the third quarter. Paul George was the only starter in double figures with 12 points while Tyler Hansbrough had a team-best 17.
With Danny Granger expected to miss three months due to an ailing left knee, Indiana is averaging 87.8 points - nearly 10 fewer than last season - and shooting a league-worst 39.8 percent.
"We knew the schedule was going to be tough early," coach Frank Vogel said. "We knew adjusting to not having Danny Granger was going to be tough early. We've got to overcome it."
George might help the Pacers get past Granger's absence in this game as he scored a career-high 30 points in a 98-87 road win over the Mavericks on Feb. 3, the only meeting between the teams last season. David West chipped in 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting.
Indiana has won two of the past three meetings with Dallas after losing nine of 10.
Friday's game will feature the return of a trio of former Pacers: Darren Collison, Troy Murphy and Dahntay Jones.
Collison and Jones were traded to Dallas in July for backup center Ian Mahinmi. Murphy played three-plus seasons in Indiana before being sent to New Jersey in a five-player deal in August 2010.
