    Shawn Marion - 19.0ppg 9.3rpg 2.6apg</div>

    Marion is one of the most versatile forwards in the league, and he will present a difficult matchup for the Mavericks, regardless of whom is guarding him. When the Suns visited last month, Marion had 29 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists. The Suns will match the Mavericks' small-ball lineup. And the Mavericks will have to prove their little guys are better than the Suns' if they want to win their seventh in a row against Phoenix in Dallas.

    <u>Keys to the Game:</u>

    <u>Dallas:</u>
    You have the advantage you're at home, get your crowed invovled.
    Stick with a smaller line up.
    Contain Shawn Marion.
    Get Amare in foul trouble quickly.
    Let Howard and Daniels get alot of playtime.



    <u>Phoenix:</u>
    Hold Dallas to limitied shots.
    Keep Dallas having to bang on the inside.
    Guard the peremeter.
    Feed the ball to Amare as much as possiable.
    Remeber Dallas can score in a hurry.


    Predection: Go Mavs!

    I'll take the Mavs by 11 in this one, too much firepower for the Suns to handle.
