Description: Mavericks center Chris Kaman was benched after 13 minutes Sunday night against Houston. He finished with six points and a minus-15 differential. | Insight: Kaman has started the last three games but only played 22.5 mpg in the previous two.

Description: Mavericks center Chris Kaman moved back into the starting lineup Wednesday for the first time since mid-January but he only played 22 minutes and had six points and four rebounds. | Insight: Kaman lost his starting job on Jan. 25 and then missed 10 games after suffering a concussion during practice six days later. He played eight minutes in his return to the lineup and then was a DNP-CD last night. It's doubtful he'll get enough minutes to factor into fantasy leagues with Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion and Elton Brand in the frontcourt. | | |

SOURCE: ESPN Dallas. | Insight: Kaman has missed 10 straight games after suffering a concussion during practice at the end of January. He lost his starting job and saw just 11.5 minutes per game in the two games before the concussion so there's no guarantee he will play a big role going forward. | | |

Description: Dallas Mavericks center Chris Kaman was doing some shooting during Tuesday's practice, though he has still not cleared his concussion test that would allow him to fully practice with the team. | Insight: Kaman has been coming off the bench anyway. The Mavericks are going with center-by-committee - using Elton Brand, Bernard James and Brandan Wright. None of the three is fantasy worthy under those condidtions. | | |

Sneed, Mavs.com | Insight: Kaman has been dropped out of the starting five in favor of Elton Brand on Friday and Bernard James on Sunday and has only played 23 minutes over the last two games.

Description: Mavericks center Chris Kaman scored 14 points on 7-of-13 shooting with seven boards and a block Saturday night in just 23 minutes of play. | Insight: Even with Saturday's effort, Kaman is only averaging 9.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in 22 minutes over five games since Dirk Nowitzki rejoined the starting lineup. Dallas has a crowded forward rotation with Vince Carter, Shawn Marion and Dahntay Jones all capable of playing the three and Marion, Nowitzki, Jae Crowder and Elton Brand able to play the four. Coach Rick Carlisle can alleviate the logjam by playing Brand or Nowitzki at center, and that limits Kaman's minutes. | | |

SOURCE: NBA.com | Insight: Kaman is averaging 13.7 ppg and 6.9 rpg while playing almost 27 minutes per game but we'd sit him down Saturday against the Rockets as he's no guarantee to make it through a full game. | | |
