Nowitzki (rest) will not play Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Analysis:

Nowitzki will take a seat Wednesday alongside fellow starters Rajon Rondo and Tyson Chandler. With two big men out of the mix in Dallas, look for Charlie Villanueva, Al-Farouq Aminu and Greg Smith to all see increased reps. Dirk will likely be back in action for Friday's rematch with Denver.
