nowitzki is listed as questionable....my guess would be people are jumping all over this news..don't know why as the mavs are still better than the pistons even without nowitzki

this is the mavs 4th road game in a row.
its hard to keep winning on the road that much. but they looked good last night

I can't figure the line coming down with the money going on Dal. By the way, I was showing the line off by 4 in fav of Det. Was going to be a play but now I don't know.
nowitzki suffered a left thigh bruise in the first but returned in the second. finley also was able to shoot the ball last night well after an atrocious outing against philly, so perhaps his muscle strain in his right shoulder is starting to improve. griffith and buckner were able to return last night, playing 16 and 24 minutes respectively. i assume the line move also is due to mavs playing on the road again.( as mentioned 4th straight)
