However he once again upped his scoring average in the postseason and will continue to be a top option entering next season.","spin":"Nowitzki was admittedly effected by the lockout and should bounce back with a complete summer to reestablish his normal routine. He remains an efficient fantasy option that could improve with a new cast in Dallas.","date":"Tue May 8"},"fullName":"Dirk Nowitzki","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Dirk may have posted his lowest averages in points (23.0), rebounds (7.0), steals (0.5) and blocks (0.6) in the past eight seasons, but most will remember the truly remarkable playoff performances he put up during the Mavericks' championship run. Despite the fact that his regular-season numbers were down slightly, Nowitzki still gets it done in a big way in percentages and points scored, and that doesn't figure to change anytime soon. He also doesn't get nearly enough credit for his durability. In his past 12 seasons, Dirk has missed a total of 38 games. With that kind of security, Nowitzki is an easy choice in the early rounds.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Wed Nov 30"},"playerRater30DAY":10.5,"playerRater15DAY":9.9,"positionRank":4}
