DeRozan vital for Spurs heading into Mavericks game

DeMar DeRozan has only played five regular-season games for San Antonio but he's already left an indelible mark on the Spurs' franchise and quickly become one of the team's go-to players.

DeRozan and the Spurs have won three of their five games together and look to improve on that early trend when they host the new-look Dallas Mavericks on Monday at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.

DeRozan has racked up 136 points in his first quintet of games with the Spurs, surpassing the franchise record of 115 points set by Hall of Famer David Robinson in his rookie season.
