Coach Rick Carlisle is leaning towards holding Erick Dampier out of Monday's game against the Warriors, since he doesn't want him to aggravate his left knee effusion in back-to-back games.
Dampier is never a good fit for a game with the up-and-down the court Warriors, so while there's a bit of ambiguity in this report, owners should probably prepare for him to be out. Drew Gooden, a physical player who should give the Warriors fits, could be worth a look in the Mavs' two-game week. Source: ESPN.com
