GDT: Sacramento@Dallas 11/20/09 7:30CST
3-0 in GDT, going for 4-0
Kings are 1-4 with Martin and 4-1 since Martin is out. But i think our backcourt match better Udrih/Evans than Evans/Martin.
Quote:
A subpar game from Dirk Nowitzki(notes) didn’t stop the Dallas Mavericks from continuing their home dominance over the Sacramento Kings last season. Now, the All-Star is carrying more than his share of the scoring load.
With Nowitzki helping them overcome injuries, the Mavericks look to extend an 11-game home winning streak against the Kings on Friday night.
Though Nowitzki was held to 12 points, Dallas beat Sacramento 116-95 at the American Airlines Center on Feb. 21, the teams’ last meeting. The Mavericks (9-3) have averaged 116.2 points and shot 43.9 percent from 3-point range during their home winning streak versus the Kings (5-5).
Josh Howard(notes) had 20 points for Dallas in the last contest, but he was one of three starters out with injuries for Wednesday night’s game against San Antonio. The Mavericks, though, got 41 points from Nowitzki and won 99-94 in overtime for their fourth straight victory.
Howard has missed eight straight games as he recovers from offseason left ankle surgery, Shawn Marion(notes) sat out with a sprained left ankle sustained in a 115-113 OT win at Milwaukee on Monday night and Dallas has been without Erick Dampier(notes) the last three games due to an unknown illness.
Howard isn’t ready to come back, Dampier has been undergoing tests to determine the nature of his illness and Marion’s status is uncertain.
The Mavs will be just fine if Nowitzki continues his clutch play. He had 11 points after regulation against San Antonio and made a winning, buzzer-beating jumper in OT against the Bucks.
“He’s really playing at a high level,” Dallas forward Drew Gooden(notes) said. “We need that because of all the injuries we have right now and he’s doing everything he can to carry this team.”
The Mavs did get some good news on the injury front, with Tim Thomas(notes) making his debut after sitting out the first 11 games while recovering from offseason knee surgery. Thomas, signed in July, had two points in 14 minutes.
Sacramento has injury issues of its own. The Kings are without Kevin Martin(notes), who will miss at least another six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a hairline fracture in his left wrist Nov. 9. Andres Nocioni(notes) missed a 101-87 loss to Chicago, his former team, Tuesday night due to a hip pointer.
Nocioni’s status is uncertain. Donte Greene(notes) started at forward in his place, scoring 24 points in the Kings’ first loss in five games.
Greene, a first-round pick in 2008, made his fifth career start. Tyreke Evans(notes), selected fourth overall in this year’s draft, has given the Kings a consistent scoring threat with Martin out.
Evans had 20 points against the Bulls, becoming the first Sacramento rookie since Lionel Simmons in 1991 to reach 20 in five straight games. The 6-foot-6 guard is averaging 23.0 points during that span.
Evans, though, committed four of the Kings’ 21 turnovers against Chicago. Sacramento averaged 20.6 turnovers in its last three games.
“We have a young team that tries to go too fast sometimes,” point guard Beno Udrih(notes) said. “Those kinds of mistakes hurt us because they got easy layups.”
Udrih averaged 14.5 points and 6.2 assists in four games against the Mavericks last season, but the Kings lost three of those contests

DALLAS Mavericks forward Shawn Marion will not play Friday night against the Sacramento Kings, but he's optimistic that it's the last game that he will miss.
Marion sprained his left ankle in the opening moments of Monday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks and didn't return for the second half. He sat out Wednesday's win over the San Antonio Spurs.
"Hopefully one more game and I'll be good," Marion said after the Mavs' morning shootaround Friday. "It's feeling better, but it still hurts."
The Mavs get a few days off before beginning a stretch of three games in four days Tuesday night.

NOOOOOOOO!!!! POR QUE!!?
This is my last home game before I head back to Miami, and still no Damp, Josh, and Marion aren't playing.
Well, at least I'll be able to watch a healthy(hopefully) Mavs spank the crap out of the Heat next month in Miami.

I'd actually think there'd be a decent chance of a loss if this were in Sacto. It definitely feels like a potential let-down game. That said, I don't the Kings can come into Dallas and win, even with our injuries.

I've seen a little bit of the Kings this season. They're very streaky and quick. Even so, the veterans on this squad know how to take care of business. Would like to see Roddy get some PT as well.
Go MAVS!

This is a questionable comment. Is it gay or not gay? Kinda hard to say.

Too often you try too hard to find a pervert joke that just isn't there. It's not funny, it's just annoying.

You know, most of the time, people just go over to atdhe.net and find it on the menu. Then they copy/paste the link directly to the game instead of to the main page. That way it looks like they have some sneaky, clever method for finding the game and they score some cheap rep.

Uh oh. League Pass isn't working for me. It's a different game and it's only the audio part. Hmmm.
