Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle gave Jason Kidd(notes) the last game off in an effort to keep the veteran rested for the postseason. If Kidd plays the next two games, he’ll be going up against two of the best young guards in the NBA.

Kidd is expected to return to the lineup as the Mavericks try for their first double-digit win streak in three seasons Friday night when they host Tyreke Evans(notes) and the Sacramento Kings.

Dallas (41-21) won its ninth straight Wednesday by beating Minnesota 112-109 without Kidd, who will turn 37 on March 23. The All-Star point guard was given a rest since he averaged more than 37 minutes in a stretch of eight games in 13 days since the All-Star break.

“We’re going to sit him because of the string of games we’ve had,” said Carlisle before the victory. “He’s perfectly healthy and we want to keep it that way. It’s been a grueling stretch for us and this is what we’re going to do.”

The Mavericks are seeking their first 10-game run since their franchise-record 17-game streak Jan. 27-March 11, 2007, and will play three games in four days, starting with a back-to-back set that could challenge Kidd. After meeting rookie leading scorer Evans and Sacramento (21-40), Dallas travels to face reigning NBA rookie of the year Derrick Rose(notes) and Chicago on Saturday.

J.J. Barea got the start in Kidd’s place Wednesday and rookie Rodrigue Beaubois(notes) also got plenty of minutes to help key the victory. Beaubois matched his season high with 17 points.

“J-Kidd didn’t play so me and J.J. had to step up our game and I think we did it, we won the game so that’s really good,” Beaubois said.

The bad news was that Jason Terry(notes), second on Dallas with 17.0 points per game, took an elbow to his face in the third quarter and left the locker room with his left eye nearly swollen shut.

Terry is scheduled to have surgery Friday and a timetable for his return will be determined after the surgery.

The Mavericks have taken 12 straight meetings at home over the Kings, winning 104-102 on Nov. 20 as Terry scored 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter. Evans was outstanding with 29 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds.

Evans had a streak of 13 straight games in double figures end in Wednesday’s 84-81 victory at Houston, scoring nine points on 4-of-22 shooting.

Carl Landry(notes), acquired from the Rockets on Feb. 18, picked up the slack with 22 points and 10 rebounds in his first game against his former team. Landry is averaging 16.9 points in leading the Kings to three wins in seven games since he joined the team.

“I just tried to stay calm, cool and collected and let the game come to me,” Landry said.

Landry was solid in four games against the Mavs with the Rockets this season, averaging 15.0 points on 66.7 percent shooting.

So are you scared they're playing Carl "Better than Amare Stoudemire (lol)" Landry?

[Findog]

So are you scared they're playing Carl "Better than Amare Stoudemire (lol)" Landry?

I don't think I said he was better than Amare, just that he's committed to playing on both ends of the floor and he was more deserving of an All Star spot. Of course, the way Amare has been beasting lately, he's making that statement look silly.

Hopefully Carl Landry doesn't attack Dirk's elbow with his mouth again.

Mavs fans, what's up with Haywood? Think he's just out for the night, or out for a while? Got that stretch run in the fantasy league, might have to drop him and pick up javale mcgee

[JoeTait75]

Otis Birdsong, I believe.

[Dro210]

haha yea, crazy resemblance tho... almost looks like somebody photoshopped paul's face in there

[DPG21920]

[Texas Chili Dog]

[Amarelooms]

[Texas Chili Dog]

The Kings think it's 2002-2003. Draining threes from all over the place. Is that Bibby, Peja, and Bobby Jackson out there?

[badfish22]

Why the fuck would you take roddy out and leave barea in

[sribb43]

Take the fuckin midget out of the game, Dwayne

[pking]

I normally agree about JJB but he hasn't been bad in this game...

[sribb43]

I normally agree about JJB but he hasn't been bad in this game...

yes...until the 4th quarter when he serves no purpose on the floor

[Ghazi]

People are just bitching for the sake of bitching about Barea. He hasnt been bad this game, although Beaubois should be getting the crunchtime minutes.

[badfish22]

I normally agree about JJB but he hasn't been bad in this game...

But Roddy has been destroying

[Texas Chili Dog]

Dirk, ladies and gentlemen.

[Amarelooms]

Why the fuck would you take roddy out and leave barea in

Only AN IDIOT would do that. JJB SHOULD NEVER PLAY as much as he is....Mavs likely gonna win but this kind of FUCKED UP THINKING is gonna hurt us in the end :elephant

[Goran Dragic]

Dallas is only 4 behind LA right now and the shitty thing for them is that they could just as easily be ahead of them with all the stupid games they've lost.

[Ghazi]

Yeah thats kinda annoying.

But then again the Mavs have been very fortunate in the close games this year, so they really cant complain.

[badfish22]

IMO winning close games isn't being fortunate it's being a good team. Shit like losing to the Wizards on opening night just shouldn't happen.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Dirk is 138-141 in FTs in the 4th quarter. :lol :wow

[Ghazi]

Tomorrow will be tough if Haywood is out

If we win tomorrow this win streak will reach UNPRECEDENTED heights!!!1

According to NBA.coms homepage, that never happened.

"Mavericks hold off Kings to secure first 10-game win streak since 1997"

[dallaskd]

14-0 to start the season in what, '02?

This guy pretty much puts Roddys every move on youtube. He should have the Sacremento game up pretty soon.

Roddy pretty much gets better every game. He is explosive as shit. If he can score 16 in a quarter now, he should be crazy once he gets experience.
