|
| |  | DALLAS: GUARDS: MONTA ELLIS slides into the 2-guard spot vacated by O.J. Mayo. He should benefit from the attention Dirk Nowitzki gets and from playing alongside a pure point guard . . . JOSE CALDERON is a defensive liability, but he should have the Mavs' offense running more smoothly . . . VINCE CARTER has become one of the league's better sixth men. He'll see plenty of minutes for a team that figures to frequently play small ball . . . When healthy, DEVIN HARRIS should be the defensive side of a platoon with Calderon . . . Israeli star GAL MEKEL should be able to help at both guard spots on a part-time basis . . . WAYNE ELLINGTON has yet to prove he can do anything with second-unit minutes . . . After breaking his foot, SHANE LARKIN is looking at a redshirt year. FORWARDS: Last season was a bit of a lost season for DIRK NOWITZKI, who missed the beginning of the year after knee surgery and didn't get going until late. Health, as well as the arrival of a true point guard in Jose Calderon, should allow him to bounce back nicely . . . SHAWN MARION had a nice resurgence last season, and he should have at least one good season left as he plays for another contract . . . JAE CROWDER has a chance to establish himself as the heir apparent to Marion. He's a hustle guy right now, and whether he can be more will depend on whether he develops his jump shot . . . RICKY LEDO was a favorite NBA draft sleeper for many experts. But while the skilled wing has NBA talent, he also has a reputation for being a bad seed. Ledo is almost certainly headed to the D-League for now. CENTERS: SAMUEL DALEMBERT is a sad consolation prize in the Dwight Howard derby. He'll likely step in as a starter . . . BRANDAN WRIGHT has never been able to overcome injuries. He could end up splitting time with Dalembert . . . DEJUAN BLAIR will provide energy and offense at the four and five . . . BERNARD JAMES should continue to develop as a rim protector. | | MEMPHIS: GUARDS: MIKE CONLEY has steadily improved every season. He's now a borderline All-Star point guard . . . TONY ALLEN is back as the defensive half of Memphis' SG platoon. He's a favorite of new head coach David Joerger, the mastermind of the Grizzlies' suffocating defense as an assistant . . . JERRYD BAYLESS is on the cusp of being one of the NBA's top sixth men. He's the only pure scorer they have on the perimeter . . . MIKE MILLER's minutes will be limited in the regular season, but he's still an effective bench option with his long-range shooting . . . Ultra-athletic rookie JAMAAL FRANKLIN seems like a future rotation guy if/when he grasps Joerger's defensive schemes. FORWARDS: ZACH RANDOLPH has taken a back seat to Marc Gasol, but Z-Bo is still a dangerous low-post scorer. He might give way to Ed Davis a little more often when Memphis needs defense . . . TAYSHAUN PRINCE brought another quality defender to Memphis at last season's trade deadline. He's no better than a fifth option on offense, though . . . QUINCY PONDEXTER is one of the only shooters Memphis has, and he seems ready for a bigger role after a strong postseason performance. If nothing else, he's the heir apparent to Prince . . . ED DAVIS seems ready for a bigger role, but it's not coming behind Randolph and Gasol. He's a back-up for at least one more season . . . JON LEUER gives the Grizzlies another savvy reserve big. CENTERS: He's a bit overrated defensively (good, but not Defensive Player of the Year good), but MARC GASOL has emerged as the centerpiece of the Memphis offense. He's one of the league's best passing big men, to go along with some skill in the post . . . KOSTA KOUFOS gives them another 7-footer who can move the ball, though his role will be much smaller than it was in Denver. |

*Mavericks-Grizzlies Preview* =============================
Dallas (49-32) at Memphis (49-32), 8:00 p.m. EDT
There is plenty of incentive for the Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks in Wednesday night's season finale.
The winner will gain the Western Conference's seventh seed, and the visiting Mavericks will be seeking to complete their first season sweep of the Grizzlies in six years.
These Southwest Division rivals have 49-32 records, and Wednesday's loser will be seeded eighth and face San Antonio in the first round. Both clubs lost all four meetings with the league-best Spurs.
"They'll be at home, they're going to try to win their 50th, we want to win 50, everybody wants to move up and get a higher seed if they can," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said.
Memphis clinched the league's final playoff spot Monday by scoring the final seven points in a 97-91 win at Phoenix. Zach Randolph fed Mike Conley for a go-ahead 3-pointer with 68 seconds left that triggered the final burst.
The Grizzlies have won four straight and are 22-10 since Feb. 9 for the West's third-best mark in that span.
"We've needed every game basically since February it seems like," Conley said. "We've played every game like a playoff game. It's been fun to be part of a group that comes in and stays focused and to get back in the playoffs."
Memphis can set a single-season record with a 14th straight home win Wednesday.
Dallas is seeking its first seven-game road win streak since winning eight in a row Nov. 20-Dec. 27, 2010. That season marked the Mavericks' 11th straight with at least 50 wins and they can reach that plateau Wednesday for the first time since.
"I think we took 50 wins for granted a little bit there a couple times, when we just did it a few times in a row there, won 67 (in 2006-07), you think 50 wins is easy to get but it's really not," forward Dirk Nowitzki said.
Monta Ellis matched his season high with 37 points and Nowitzki scored 21 of his 23 in the second half Saturday as the Mavs rallied from 13 down for a 101-98 clinching home win over the Suns. The club's 12-year streak in the playoffs ended last season.
Nowitzki is averaging 23.3 points on 57.8 percent shooting in the season series, with Dallas winning by an average of 13.4 points. The Mavs last swept four meetings in 2007-08.
This season's results may be deceiving since Marc Gasol missed one meeting while Conley sat out twice.
The Grizzlies are 39-18 when they start Gasol and Randolph.
"We've got to be ready to guard those guys with a lot of different people, probably a lot of different schemes," Carlisle said. "It's a very challenging game from that perspective. I don't know of another team in the league that has two guys of this magnitude of post-up scoring ability, rebounding ability and they both are playmakers as well from the inside out."
Ellis is tied for third in the NBA with 10.1 drives per game entering play Tuesday. He's averaged 8.3 in the season series against a Grizzlies team that's allowing a West-low 38.5 points per game in the paint.
