Notes
Monta Ellis scored 32 points in the Mavs 118-109 opening night victory over the Hawks, the most ever by a player in his Mavericks debut.  The Mavericks are shooting 81% from the line this season, good for second in the NBA behind Minnesota at 81.4%. Dirk leads the league shooting 94% from the line. Atlanta is 3rd in the NBA in assists per game averaging 24.6 dimes per contest. Kyle Korver, who is questionable with a rib injury, is one game shy of tying the NBA record for consecutive games with a made 3-pointer of 89 set by Dana Barros.
