UNDATED (AP) -- The Dallas Mavericks are now 2-4 since Dirk Nowitzki sprained his right knee late last month.

Shawn Marion had a season-high 25 for the Mavericks
In the only other NBA game of the night, Sacramento scored 69 first-half points before completing a 119-102 blowout win over Denver. Tyreke (ty-REEK') Evans had 27 points and 12 rebounds for the Kings, who entered the game with a league-worst 7-25 record before dropping the Nuggets to 5-12 on the road.
Carmelo Anthony's 26 points led Denver.
