|
| |  | 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. | | OKLAHOMA CITY: GUARDS: Everything should be a full go with RUSSELL WESTBROOK. His attacking style of play will always carry some injury risk, but he hasn't lost any explosiveness to this point . . . REGGIE JACKSON wants to start, but it's a question of whether the Thunder can survive defensively with him and Westbrook in a small backcourt. Jackson is certainly their second-best offensive guard . . . ANTHONY MORROW can flat-out shoot. He can't do anything else, but that floor spacing might be enough to get him 20 minutes per night . . . If the light doesn't turn on, JEREMY LAMB will be on the outside of this rotation. FORWARDS: Once he returns from his foot injury in late November, it should be the same old story for KEVIN DURANT, the reigning NBA MVP . . . He still struggles defensively in space, but SERGE IBAKA will be right there among the league leaders in blocks again. Throw in a reliable mid-range game, and more offensive responsibility with Durant out, and he's a fringe All-Star . . . NICK COLLISON takes charges, but doesn't do much else . . . Rookie MITCH McGARY could be pushing Collison for minutes by midseason . . . ANDRE ROBERSON could get another handful of starts as a defensive presence on the wing, but he rarely plays 20-plus minutes . . . PERRY JONES is on the fringe of this roster. CENTERS: Is this it? Could this be the season that the Thunder finally stop playing KENDRICK PERKINS? . . . STEVEN ADAMS came on strong late last season and is probably already better than Perk. He can defend and moves the ball offensively. |

*Mavericks-Thunder Preview* ===========================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Dallas (45-29) at Oklahoma City (42-32), 8:00 p.m. EDT
The slumping Dallas Mavericks haven't been anywhere near their best of late, and they may have to get by without Monta Ellis again.
Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder have managed to take care of business despite a slew of injuries.
Dallas tries to avoid a winless three-game road trip as both teams look to inch closer to locking up playoff spots Wednesday night.
The Mavericks (45-29) have dropped four of five after falling 104-99 at Indiana on Sunday in their first game since losing Ellis to a calf injury. Ellis, averaging a team-high 19.1 points, had played in all 237 regular-season games since the start of 2012-13 before sitting out.
Dallas was limited to 38 points in the second half after taking a 61-55 lead into the break.
"I thought we were fine there for a while, but usually (Ellis) is our closer," teammate Dirk Nowitzki told the Mavs' official website. "He's got the ball in his hands at the end a lot, and we definitely missed that. It's his attacking and his mid-range game off the pick-and-rolls, and we definitely would have loved to have him down the stretch."
Chandler Parsons had 27 points and 10 rebounds while Rajon Rondo scored 17 to go with 10 assists and seven boards.
"I liked the way we played in a lot of ways," coach Rick Carlisle said. "It's pretty much what I expected with the roster that we have without (Ellis), but we're going to have to go by feel and we're going to have to adjust on the fly some. That's just the way it's going to be."
Oklahoma City (42-32) has had to adjust to life without Kevin Durant, who has been limited to 27 games and will miss the rest of the season with a foot injury. Serge Ibaka (knee) also remains out, but Westbrook has kept the Thunder in the Western Conference playoff picture.
Oklahoma City is 2 1/2 games ahead of New Orleans for the eighth and final postseason spot and three behind the seventh-place Mavs with two weeks left in the regular season. The Thunder return home after closing a 1-2 trek with Sunday's come-from-behind 109-97 victory over Phoenix, their fifth win in seven games.
Westbrook finished with 33 points, nine rebounds and seven assists as Oklahoma City stormed back from 20 down in the second quarter. He was on the bench for a key fourth-quarter stretch fueled by reserves D.J. Augustin and Anthony Morrow, who combined to score 30.
"Then Russell came back in and finished the game off," coach Scott Brooks said. "We have to find ways to win together. We've been doing that for a long time. Tonight was a classic example of what we have to do."
Westbrook has overtaken James Harden for the NBA scoring lead with 27.6 points per game. He's also averaging 10.2 assists since the beginning of February for the league's second-best mark.
The Thunder have won six straight home games and 20 of 22. They had won 11 in a row overall - including playoffs - over the Mavs before losing four of the last five, with the lone victory coming 104-89 at home Feb. 19 behind 34 points and 10 assists from Westbrook. He averaged 21.0 points on 32.5 percent shooting in the Thunder's two losses in the season series.
Nowitzki averaged 26.0 points in those two games but scored 14 in the loss at Oklahoma City.
Dallas has been limited to an average of 88.4 points in dropping seven of eight on the road.
