by j0Shi on Feb 8, 2012 5:26 PM CST in Opinion/Analysis

This is an auto-generated statistical overview of todays opponent of the Dallas Mavericks. The data is only presented for your review and apart from the glossary it features no additional comments. Please post in the comment section if you'll find any uncertainties that should be included in the glossary. Throughout the season this overview could be tweaked here and there, so stay tuned for updates! In the current form it features:

Overall Stats
Possession-Type Efficiencies
Players that will hurt you
Players that will help you
Lineups that will hurt you
Lineups that will help you
Shot Locations & Shot Distances
Full Heat-Chart

Please note that some of the data-tables don't fit into the "narrow" layout of this page. Please switch to the Wide one.

I also recommend to visit SynergySports for their preview of the two teams.
