Dallas Mavericks vs Portland Trail Blazers

Rose Garden, Portland, OR
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The Dallas Mavericks keep catching the Trail Blazers off guard.
First it was Jason Kidd, then it was Peja Stojakovic -- as if defending Dirk Nowitzki wasn't enough.
The surprising success of those two veterans has put the Mavs in control as they head to Portland with a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series against the Blazers.
So it begs the question, who will break out for Dallas in Game 3 Thursday night at the Rose Garden? Jason Terry? Shawn Marion? Nowitzki said the Mavs have been trying to spread it around all season.
"We've been doing that second scorer by committee. Marion had a great finish to the season, Jet (Terry) has been there all season long and Peja was a great addition at the trade deadline because he's still a great knockdown shooter," Nowitzki said.
