When the Mavs take the court tonight against the Nets, they will be without J.J. Barea, but expect centers Brendan Haywood and Erick Dampier to be in action. Dallas has been missing their big men as of late, but both fully participated in shoot around this morning.

Haywood said after shoot around that he has been “feeling better than I have in previous days, so I am going to give it a try.” Haywood also clarified that his back stiffness has not been an ongoing problem and it is just something that happens in the NBA.

Also, when I asked Brendan about matching up with the Nets Brook Lopez tonight, he said “I’m back, I think Damp is back, so we should have a lot of bodies to throw at him.”

Mavs Head Coach Rick Carlisle wouldn’t divulge much information but did say he was “hopeful that both big guys would be available.” Dampier and Haywood are game time decisions, but I fully expect both players to see action tonight.
