The Mavericks outlasted the Pistons last night in Detroit. Dirk Nowitzki led the way for the Mavericks last night with 25 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocked shots. Rookie Rodrigue Beaubois also had a solid game as he was 6 for 6 shooting from the floor. He finished up with 14 points, 4 assists and 2 steals in only 19 minutes on the court.

With Josh Howard out of action until likely some time in December the Mavericks could turn to rookie 21-year old guard Rodrigue Beaubois to replace him in the starting lineup. Beaubois has played in 5 games (2 starts) for the Mavericks so far this season and he is averaging 7.6 minutes, 5.4 points, 0.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. He is shooting a solid 52.6% from the floor so far this season and that has to excite the front office of the Mavericks. With Jose Juan Barea and Jason Terry coming off the bench for the Mavericks look for Beaubois to not get big time minutes even if he starts for the Mavericks while Howard is out of action. Still, it will be a good experience for Beaubois if he starts for a while for the Mavericks.
