Monday: vs. Houston, 7 p.m. (FSN). Wednesday: at Dallas, 7:30 p.m. (FSN). Friday: vs. San Antonio, 7 p.m. (FSN).

Player to watch: J.J. Barea, Wolves It'll be a memorable night in Dallas on Wednesday, when Barea returns to the arena where he played for five seasons and helped the Mavericks win last season's NBA title. Owner Mark Cuban scheduled the Mavericks' championship ring ceremony for the Wolves' visit purposely as a thank you to Barea.
