Mavericks' Andrew Bogut: Will start Thursday vs. Thunder

Analysis:

The rebounding and shot-blocking big man will draw the start with Dirk Nowitzki (rest) out. Bogut is averaging 3.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks across 23.4 minutes per game on the season, but may see some more time Thursday.
