|
| |  | 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. | | SACRAMENTO: GUARDS: GREIVIS VASQUEZ seems to have the edge in the point guard battle. He's a pass-first floor general who fits better in a lineup full of chuckers . . . ISAIAH THOMAS will have a major role whether he starts or not. He can score, and while his lack of size is a defensive liability, he makes up for it with harassing on-ball pressure . . . MARCUS THORNTON will eventually be relegated to a smaller role, but the gunning combo guard will get his minutes until Ben McLemore is ready . . . BEN MCLEMORE takes a lot of heat for his lack of assertiveness, but he can knock down corner threes and is an outstanding athlete, which is enough to make him a fine role player . . . JIMMER FREDETTE is kicking around as trade bait . . . Second-rounder RAY MCCALLUM should earn a bench role.FORWARDS: With his potential to be a solid defender, JASON THOMPSON is likely to retain his starting job. He's an afterthought on offense, though . . . LUC RICHARD MBAH A MOUTE seems like a natural to slide into the starting lineup. He can defend multiple spots and doesn't need touches on a team of players who do . . . CARL LANDRY could unseat Thompson. We see him in the same kind of bench role he had in Golden State. He's very good offensively and a relentless rebounder, but will struggle defensively against top-line forwards . . . JOHN SALMONS avoided the amnesty axe, though his role will likely be reduced again . . . Stretch four PATRICK PATTERSON is on the fringe of this rotation . . . Streaky shooting should have TRAVIS OUTLAW in and out of the rotation. CENTERS: The new regime of head coach Michael Malone will try again with DEMARCUS COUSINS, who continues to show flashes of dominance but too often plays and acts like a head case. He's playing for a contract, which would presumably have him on his best behavior . . . CHUCK HAYES will continue to be a second-unit glue guy at the four and five. |

(UPDATES with trade for Gay)
*Mavericks-Kings Preview* =========================
By ELI KABERON STATS Writer
Dallas (13-8) at Sacramento (5-13), 10:00 p.m. EDT
The steady improvement of rookie Ben McLemore has been a bright spot during an otherwise difficult season for the Sacramento Kings. The expected arrival of Rudy Gay should be another.
A day after agreeing to acquire the high-scoring forward from Toronto, McLemore and the Kings will look to end a four-game home losing streak Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks.
Gay probably won't play in this game, with the deal that will send Greivis Vasquez, Patrick Patterson, John Salmons and Chuck Hayes to the Raptors expected to become official Monday. Sacramento also will receive Aaron Gray and Quincy Acy.
Gay, traded from Memphis to Toronto last season, is in his eighth season and has averaged 18.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his career.
"Rudy is a prince of a guy. He's an athletic, dynamic wing player, he gets to the basket at will and can shoot the ball and handle the ball," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said.
While the Kings wait for their big acquisition to arrive, they'll continue to rely on McLemore. The seventh pick in this year's draft has seen his playing time and production rise as the season has progressed. He logged a season-high 38 minutes Saturday at Utah and hit a 3-pointer with 3.2 seconds remaining to force overtime.
Sacramento (5-13) went on to win 112-102, and McLemore finished with 15 points and nine rebounds. DeMarcus Cousins led the way with 28 points and Isaiah Thomas scored 23 of his 26 after halftime.
"Isaiah was telling me after the huddle that I was going to hit a big shot," McLemore said. "And I thought I was going to make it even though I had missed a couple of 3s earlier."
Thomas called McLemore's clutch basket, "the biggest shot of his NBA career so far."
The Kings need his development to continue as they rank 24th in the NBA with a 43.0 percent field-goal percentage. McLemore is second among rookies in points per game at 10.1, but he's averaged 13.7 over the last six games. He scored a career-high 20 on Dec. 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
"We've been waiting on one of those from Ben," Cousins said of McLemore's clutch shooting against the Jazz.
The Mavericks (13-8) have dominated the Kings in recent years, going 23-3 against them since April 4, 2006 - including victories in the past five meetings.
Dallas is coming off a dramatic 108-106 victory over Western Conference-leading Portland on Saturday. Monta Ellis sank a 21-foot jumper as time expired to give the Mavs their third consecutive victory.
Dirk Nowitzki has played well over the last four games, averaging 24.3 points on 53.4 percent shooting. Against Portland, he scored 28 to go with seven assists and six rebounds.
Even with Ellis leading the team in scoring at 21.6 points per game, Nowitzki remains the catalyst on offense for the Mavericks.
"We were throwing it to (Dirk) every time," coach Rick Carlisle said of his team's strategy against Portland. "You know, he's going to cause something to happen, something good, and he's going to make it tough on them, so we've got to get the ball in his hands."
The win over the Trail Blazers was the second on a four-game road trip for Dallas, which also faces Golden State before returning home next Saturday.
"Every win is huge, every win you can get is huge," Carlisle said. "We hadn't been playing great on the road this year. Our hope is that we can build some chemistry, build some togetherness out here, which isn't easy.
(Portland) is a hard place to play. Sacramento is hard to play, Golden State is hard to play. So, we have to be really together and this is a positive step in the right direction in a win."
