Streaks: Mavericks have won three in a row. Notes and Observations: It appears Nowitzkis sore knee has healed. Or at least he has figured out a way to play on it, because he scored 30 points in the Mavs 98-87 loss Friday at Indiana. Read: Jamison has his hands full with another one of those potent power forwards from out West. Old friend Delonte West comes off the bench at shooting guard for the Mavs and has been playing well. West scored a season-high 25 points last week in a win over Phoenix. SG Anthony Parker (back), G Daniel Gibson (neck) and PF Tristan Thompson (ankle) are out again for the Cavs. PG Jason Kidd (calf) is out for the Mavs.
