Despite several indication from the team that changes are coming, Quincy Pondexter remains inactive and the starting lineup remains Asik, Davis, Evans, Gee, and Gordon. The Mavericks’ rotation is a little in flux, but Williams returned to active play last night. So, Nowitzki, Parsons, Pachulia, Matthews, and either Williams or Barea should start. It’s unclear if Harris will be available.
Dallas is an pretty unbelievably average team. They really aren’t extreme in many ways, either on offense or defense, though they offense is slightly better than their defense. They shoot three’s more often than the average team, but they make them at a little less than the typical rate.
