|
| |  | 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.
| | PORTLAND: GUARDS: Portland will turn point guard duties over to rookie DAMIAN LILLARD. The leap from Big Sky Conference to NBA will be a big one, but Lillard is an efficient scorer who can manage the offense . . . WESLEY MATTHEWS is more of a glue guy. He can't create his own offense, but he can heat up as a streaky catch-and-shoot guy . . . RONNIE PRICE should emerge as Lillard's top backup, a role he's filled at numerous stops . . . Second-rounder WILL BARTON could emerge as a rotation player. He's a versatile wing who must prove he can play off the ball . . . SASHA PAVLOVIC will play both the two and three, and can still stroke it from long distance . . . NOLAN SMITH, a misstep of the last regime, is a fringe roster player . . . ELLIOT WILLIAMS, a defensive-minded combo guard, tore his Achilles in mid-September and expects to miss the entire season. FORWARDS: LaMARCUS ALDRIDGE had a couple of health scares over the past six months, but he should enter the season 100 percent. He's clearly Portland's best player . . . NICOLAS BATUM felt rightly disrespected by his secondary role in Portland. All signs point to a bigger role in 2012-13 . . . VICTOR CLAVER is an athletic scrapper who won't do much offensively even if he does get big minutes . . . JOEL FREELAND could become their first big man off the bench . . . JARED JEFFRIES is still relevant as a defensive specialist . . . The highlight of LUKE BABBITT's career might be that mention on Onion:Sportsdome. CENTERS: J.J. HICKSON is a black hole on offense and a liability on defense, but he can score and rebound, which is good enough to be the starting center in Portland's weak frontcourt . . . MEYERS LEONARD might not be quite ready for 30-plus minutes, but he'll have to learn on the fly due to Portland's lack of veteran bigs. He has some long-term upside as a 7-footer with some nice athleticism and touch inside 10 feet. |

*Mavericks-Trail Blazers Preview* =================================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Writer
Dallas (19-25) at Portland (22-22), 10:00 p.m. EDT
With more than half the season gone and the Dallas Mavericks outside the Western Conference playoff picture, Dirk Nowitzki understands the importance of his team's upcoming four-game road trip.
The Portland Trail Blazers are one of the teams they're chasing.
Dallas seeks its seventh victory in nine games overall and third straight over Portland as it opens its trip Tuesday night.
Nowitzki still isn't 100 percent after sitting out the first 27 games following offseason knee surgery. Not coincidentally, the Mavericks (19-25) could be in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since the 1999-2000 season - Nowitzki's second in the league.
"I'm trying to get myself going and hopefully chase the eighth (and final playoff) spot and really make a good run once I'm all the way back (from injury)," Nowitzki told the team's official website.
Dallas has started to make a move - its only two losses in the last eight were against Oklahoma City and San Antonio - and got 18 points apiece from Nowitzki and Shawn Marion in Sunday's 110-95 win over Phoenix.
"I think this was obviously as close to a must-win as it gets in the regular season knowing we have to go on the road for four tough games against some of the teams that are right there with us or even above us for the eighth spot," said Nowitzki, who passed Allen Iverson for 18th place on the NBA's all-time scoring list.
"I'm starting to feel better. I have a little more pop on my jump shot. I have a little more lift."
The Mavericks, who have won their last two on the road after a 1-9 stretch, also will face Golden State, Phoenix and Oklahoma City during their trip.
"The road trip is a tough trip and the games are all important games, so we wanted to get some momentum," coach Rick Carlisle said. "Portland is back playing really well again. That game is going to be tough. It's a trip we're looking forward to and we'll keep working."
O.J. Mayo scored 32 points and Darren Collison finished with a season-high 13 assists as Dallas shot a season-high 61.5 percent to beat the visiting Blazers 114-91 on Nov. 5 without Nowitzki.
After dropping the first three games on a five-game homestand to Cleveland, Milwaukee and Washington, the Blazers (22-22) beat Indiana and the Clippers. But they fell 96-83 in the back end of a home-and-home set with Los Angeles on Sunday.
LaMarcus Aldridge, who is averaging 27.0 points in his last five versus Dallas, scored a team-high 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds on Sunday for Portland, which has lost seven of nine.
It is averaging 17.4 turnovers over its last seven after committing 19 on Sunday, including five from rookie Damian Lillard.
"Our turnovers hurt us and gave them (the ball in) transition. I thought they were more aggressive," coach Terry Stotts said.
The Blazers also showed fatigue, though they won't have much time to rest before their third game in four nights. Their starting lineup plays the most minutes in the league.
Portland's 16.5 points per game off the bench are by far the fewest in the NBA.
