GDT: Mavs vs Heat 02/03/16 7:30pm CT
The schedule hasn't been kind to the Dallas Mavericks. Mounting injuries aren't making things any easier.
The Mavericks might be without Deron Williams on Wednesday night when they try to avenge one of their worst performances of the season against the Miami Heat. Dallas (28-23) has played a league-high 19 games in the new year, going 9-10 while averaging 97.8 points. The schedule hasn't provided much relief lately with the Mavericks splitting the first two of this stretch of five games in seven days. That span concludes with back-to-back meetings against San Antonio and Memphis this weekend. Dallas fell 112-97 at Atlanta on Monday, shooting 36.5 percent from the floor and 7 for 26 from 3-point range. "I mean, we're still in the middle of a tough stretch with five games in seven nights. We've got another one Wednesday, and it's a tough one," Dirk Nowitzki told the team's official website. "But we just have to grind it out, especially with a few guys out." Devin Harris could be out for a sixth straight game with a left toe sprain, but -- more importantly -- the Mavs might be missing Williams after he bruised his hip Monday. "I don't know anything about a timetable or anything like that," coach Rick Carlisle said. "But I'm concerned." Williams leads the team with 5.3 assists per game and is second with 13.9 points. The guard is averaging 18.6 points over the last seven home games, scoring 27 in Sunday's 91-78 win over Phoenix. Williams had nine points in a 106-82 loss at Miami on Jan. 1. That stands as the Mavericks' second lowest point total of the season, and they shot 36.4 percent, including 7 for 31 from beyond the arc. Nowitzki was a major culprit, missing 10 of 14 from the floor and finishing with 11 points, while Chandler Parsons was held to four on 2-of-8 shooting. Parsons, however, is averaging 22.5 points on 54.2 percent from the field over the past eight games. Dallas has lost eight of the last nine meetings with the Heat (27-22), including four straight at home while surrendering an average of 109.3 points. Miami is looking for a bounce-back performance after Tuesday's 115-102 loss at Houston, halting its four-game winning streak. "I think early on we just weren't mentally sharp," Dwyane Wade said of the Heat's 17 turnovers. "We came out and were losing the ball ... and with a team like this who feeds off that you have to be very sharp and tight with the ball." Wade is scoring 23.4 points per game over the past five on the road. He had 20 in a 105-96 win at Dallas on Nov. 9, 2014, but flu-like symptoms limited him to 10 points and seven assists in 18 minutes on New Year's Day. Hassan Whiteside dominated that matchup with 25 points and a season-high 19 boards. The center could return for this meeting after missing the past six games with a strained oblique. Chris Bosh went 3 for 11 from the field Tuesday and finished with 13 points. He was averaging 21.8 on 51.3 percent shooting over the previous five games. The Dallas native has totaled 42 points on 15-of-22 shooting and 15 rebounds in his last two games there. http://espn.go.com/nba/preview?gameId=400828628

 Is Whiteside playing? He of course missed the game at Houston. I just expect him to be back in time to get a triple double pts/rebs/blocks. |

The Reheat are just that, a bunch of Reheated players, such as Wade and Bosh... the only not-yet-fully-Heated player that worries me is that kid Whitecastle... too big, too agile, too good on defense... yet, even without Deron, the Mavs at home will devour the Reheated leftovers' team tonight....
Mavs - 109 Reheat - 99

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said center Hassan Whiteside is a game-time decision. Whiteside has missed the last six games due to a hip injury.

@MFollowill: Hassan Whiteside may be back for Miami tonite. Warming up to play, if he can go it will be off bench. Has missed last 6 (left hip & oblique)

Thought Simba was going to pull of something better on that break but I'll take the two points

Mavs got it if they play them with size. Though I want to see a faster tempo even with Zaza or Mcgee out there. Carlisle has a rotation of centers to roll with if they want to run and gun!

Parsons needs to be tougher than that on defense. He allowed Deng to waltz to the rim.....

Again it seems like Dirk is the only player who can score on this team. We need a real number 2. Heat up 8 late in the 3rd quarter. Can we please win a game vs a team over 500?

Please start more other ways to score inside. Defense has to get aggressive on them.

The offense completely goes away when Dirk or JJ Barea go to the bench. We need a creator. This is why Monta was so good for us the last 2 years

The other mavs forum - I know Whiteside is good but I just don't like him. That other site is so soft. They want good guys. No tough attitude players.
Give me Whiteside over soft Dwight Coward 4 BLOCKS SO FAR BY WHITESIDE!!!!! |
