Game 11: Mavs vs. Bobcats

Dallas is 3-7 as they head to Charlotte to play the 3-6 Bobcats. The Mavericks stopped the bleeding in a losing streak with a win over the Knicks. It was a game defined by "NO DEFENSE" that ended with a score of 124-114 with the Mavericks on top.

Charlotte has dropped three of their last four. All of Charlotte's wins came at home. All of the Mavericks wins have come on the road.

Jason Richardson, the Bobcats leading scoring should be out for this game due to an Arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Devean George is out with bone chips in his right hand, but he probably won't affect the game quite like Richardson being out.

Bobcats to Watch:
  • Gerald Wallace: 16.2 PPG; 8.6 RPG
  • Raymond Felton: 13 PPG; 5.1 APG
  • Emeka Okafor: 9.4 PPG; 9.4 RPG

And that is it, folks. Not much to watch in the way of the Bobcats.

Mavericks to Watch:

  • Dirk Nowitzki: 24 PPG; 7.8 RPG
  • Josh Howard: 20.3 PPG; 8.8 RPG
  • Jason Terry: 17.3 PPG
  • Jason Kidd: 10.4 PPG; 8.2 APG; 7.1 RPG; 2.8 steals

Much more entertaining than the Bobcats. Three players average more points than the current leader of the Bobcats.

Forecast: The Mavericks win their fourth game on the road with a stomping of the Bobcats. Score: 102-81.
