| |  | DALLAS: The defending champs spent the offseason tweaking Dirk Nowitzki's supporting cast. Gone are Tyson Chandler (to New York), J.J. Barea (Minnesota) and likely DeShawn Stevenson. Chandler will be the toughest piece to replace, as he had become the heart of the Dallas defense. They'll rely on C Brendan Haywood (5.2 RPG), who's 32 and had major hip problems late last season, and C Ian Mahinmi, an injury-prone project who never developed. To replace Barea, they brought in G Delonte West (5.6 PPG with Boston), who was limited to 24 games because of wrist and ankle injuries last season and has a history of instability. He'll be a key contributor behind 38-year-old PG Jason Kidd (8.2 APG). They also boosted their bench by adding veterans PF Lamar Odom (14.4 PPG, 8.7 RPG with the Lakers) and SG Vince Carter (14.0 PPG with Orlando and Phoenix). Nowitzki (23.0 PPG) and Jason Terry (15.8 PPG) are still the centerpiece of an offense that relies heavily on jump shooting. When they're shooting it well, they can go on a run like they did last spring. | | MEMPHIS: The Grizzlies will continue to rely on the brute force that got them within a game of the Western Conference finals. PF Zach Randolph (20.1 PPG, 12.2 RPG) and C Marc Gasol (11.7 PPG, 7.0 RPG) make up arguably the best low-post tandem in the NBA. The offense runs through Randolph and the Grizzlies generate almost all their offense inside the arc and at the free throw line. What will be most interesting is how the Grizzlies adjust to the return of Rudy Gay (19.8 PPG, 6.2 RPG). Despite an incredible combination of length and athleticism, Gay simply looks to isolate too often on offense and is too often disinterested on defense. The team just seemed to mesh better after he went down with a season-ending shoulder injury. If Gay isn't willing to fade back into a complementary role to Memphis's bigs, it could be a problem. As for the rest of the team, PG Mike Conley (13.7 PPG, 6.5 APG) has become a capable caretaker, and Memphis has the luxury of going offense/defense at shooting guard with O.J. Mayo (11.3 PPG) and Tony Allen (1.79 steals PG, 5th in NBA). Athletic PF Darrell Arthur (9.1 PPG, 4.3 RPG) quietly emerged as one of the best reserve big men in the NBA. The Grizzlies will have to replace the veteran leadership of Shane Battier, and second-year SF Xavier Henry, a potential answer to their lack of three-pointers, is out until mid-January with torn ligaments in his ankle. Outside shooting is a glaring weakness on this team. Memphis made the fewest three-pointers in the NBA last year and shot just 33.4% from behind the arc. |

*Mavericks-Grizzlies Preview* =============================
By SANTOSH VENKATARAMAN STATS Senior Writer
Dallas (31-24) at Memphis (30-23), 8:00 p.m. EDT
After convincingly knocking off one NBA finalist from a year ago, the Memphis Grizzlies have quickly set their sights on avenging a loss from earlier this week to the other one.
The Grizzlies are eager to move two games ahead of the visiting Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference standings Saturday night.
Memphis (31-23) never trailed in an impressive 97-82 win over Miami on Friday, snapping the superstar-laden Heat's 17-game home winning streak. The Grizzlies led by double digits throughout the final three quarters.
"The first time I looked up at the scoreboard we were up 15 points," coach Lionel Hollins said. "We were playing well and we had a lot of people do a lot of good things."
His players seem to have quickly turned the page to Dallas (31-25), which won 95-85 at home over Memphis on Wednesday.
"This is a great win, but tomorrow we have a Dallas team that got on us two nights ago," guard Gilbert Arenas said.
The Grizzlies were a fatigued team that game, playing for the third straight night against a Mavericks team that had Tuesday off. Both teams played Friday heading into this rematch, and Dallas could be more tired this time after losing 99-97 in overtime at home to Portland.
Dirk Nowitzki notched his second straight double-double with 23 points and 14 boards, but his turnover with 19 seconds left in OT gave the Trail Blazers possession and set up LaMarcus Aldridge's buzzer-beating 17-foot jumper.
"It was kind of an instinct play," Nowitzki said. "You see a guy open, you want to throw it to him. Sometimes you make decisions in a split second. I made the wrong one."
The Mavericks led by as many as 15 points before scoring 10 in the third quarter - a season low for any period. They dropped one game behind Memphis into sole possession of sixth place in the West.
Reserve center Ian Mahinmi missed Friday night's game to be with his fiancee for the birth of their child. Mahinmi is expected to rejoin the team Saturday after he tied Nowitzki for the team lead with 10 boards Wednesday against the Grizzlies.
The Mavs remain without veteran point guard Jason Kidd, who has missed three straight games with a groin strain.
Memphis could again be without starting guard Tony Allen, who didn't play Friday with Quincy Pondexter in his place. Allen suffered a facial laceration Wednesday on a hard foul from Brendan Haywood with 5:20 left.
Pondexter was one of only two Grizzlies who failed to reach double digits in points Friday among nine who logged at least 12 minutes. Rudy Gay scored a team-high 17 points and Arenas had 12, his most since joining Memphis last month.
"There's nothing to celebrate," center Marc Gasol said. "We just won a game. Tomorrow is a big game for us at home."
The Grizzlies have won nine of their last 11 at home, where they haven't lost in regulation since a 98-88 defeat to Utah on Feb. 12.
