DALLAS -- The Mavericks are a much better-looking team Monday. The .500 beards aren't all gone, but they're much better manicured, at least in most cases. Center Chris Kaman is the exception, as is often the case. He didn't shave a single hair on ...

NEW ORLEANS -- It took the Dallas Mavericks 121 days to get back to .500. It took Dirk Nowitzki maybe 90 seconds to get rid of the beard he has been growing for most of that time. "That shave felt amazing," Nowitzki said after a 107-89 victory ...

DALLAS -- Elton Brand isn't quite ready to return. Brand will miss his fourth consecutive game because of a sore right calf. The Mavs thought Brand might be available for tonight's game against the Suns, but the decision for him to sit out was mad...

LOS ANGELES -- Chris Kaman will be the Mavericks' third center in three games. Kaman will match up with the Lakers' Dwight Howard, making this the 23rd starting lineup the Mavs have used this season. It's the 7-foot veteran's first start since ...

The Mavs are a win away from shaving their .500 beards, bushy facial hair that several players have been growing since they made a pact to put down the razors until their record reached the break-even point.

DALLAS - The Mavericks figured out a way to get many more touches for one of the NBA's most efficient scoring big guys, and benefited greatly from it. Oh, and Dirk Nowitzki got a lot more looks, too. With all due respect to Dirk -- and apologie...

DALLAS - The Mavericks have lost only two games during Dirk Nowitzki's career when he has shot at least 80 percent from the floor with more than one attempt. The Mavs are 14-2 in such games. The exceptions just happen to be their last two losses. ...

DALLAS - O.J. Mayo has been at his worst against the West's best. Not coincidentally, so have the Mavs. Dallas is 1-12 against the Western Conference's top four seeds this season after Sunday's loss completed the Oklahoma City Thunder's sweep o...
