Chandler Parsons: (Knee) Expected To Play Saturday

Parsons (knee) says he feels good and will play in Game 1 against the Rockets on Saturday, Mavs.com's Earl Sneed reports.

Analysis:

It will be a big series for Parsons on a personal level, as it is against his former Rockets teammates. He will play a crucial role in a gang effort to limit James Harden's offensive attack, and will be the third option offensively after Dirk Nowitzki and Monta Ellis.
