Wolves @ Mavs - Preview Who: Minnestoa Timberwolves @ Dallas Mavericks Time: 8:30 EST Venue: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX Channel: NBA TV Mavs Probable Starters: PG: Steve Nash SG: Mike Finley SF: Antawan Jamison PF: Antoine Walker C: Edurdo Najera Wolves Probable Starters: PG: Sam Cassell SG: Latrell Sprewell SF: Kevin Garnett PF: Mark Madsen C: Michael Olowokandi Injuries: Wolves - Wally Szczerbiak(IL), Troy Hudson(IL) Mavericks -Dirk Nowitzki(day to day) Suspensions Mavericks - Danny Fortson(2nd of 3rd) Key matchup Jamison vs Garnett Keys for Minnesota: Give Garnett the ball, and take as much advantage of Dirk's and Fortson's absense as possible. Bang in the post, and try to out run Dallas' tempo for Dirk is out and they dont have all their runners. Keys for Dallas: Give Nash and Fin the ball, and get Walker in the post, and try to keep banging on the boards, your leading scorer is out, and one of your big rebounders is out. Nash needs to get some open looks, and Walker just doesnt need to take alot of threes. My Prediction: Dallas recieves its first loss at home (Im being real here for a first and not baised)
In a close one we pulled this out. Finley carried us, as we came back from at least an 11 point deficit. Hopefully Dirk will come back stronger and Fortson returns from suspension, we call pull off ths 4 game homestead Recap Box Score
