Dallas Mavericks former all star guard Josh Howard return to their line up, just in time for their playoff campaign.

Howard was in the starting line up of the Dallas Mavericks in their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night after he suffered a left sore ankle injury and missed an eleven straight games for the Mav's.

Howard return is a big addition to the Mavericks line up as the playoff is getting closer, trying to create a large gap between it's closest rival in the western standings. Before their game with Minnesota Timberwolves the Mav's is ahead with 3 1/2 game over the Suns in the eight and final spot in the western conference.

This season because of his different kinds of injuries he missed a total of 28 games. In his 45 games played, Howard averaging 18.0 ppg the third leading scorer in the team and almost 5 rebounds per game.

Coach Rick Carlisle said that Howard is a flexible player that capable of playing multi position and one of the team best slashers and best drivers going to the hoop. In addition Carlisle plan is to put Howard back into shape, and with only nine games left in their regular season games, he wants to ready Howard in the approaching playoff and back the court chemistry with Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd.

Boston head coach Doc Rivers said that he will give additional minutes to All Star Kevin Garnett playing time starting next week. As Kevin Garnett was been playing 16 minutes or less since he return from his knee injury.

Rivers called the added minutes "the second stage" and a positive sign that Garnett is back completely. Garnett missed 13 games with a sprained right knee suffered at Utah Feb. 19.

I understand why Doc Rivers limiting the playing time of Kevin Garnett. What if the celtics will just settle in third spot in the eastern conference. Doc's plan is that he will make ready Kevin in the coming playoffs this June. Even the Boston will be in the third spot it's no big deal at all, because Orlando Magic is not a power house team in their home court. I can say that Boston will beat the Magic if ever they will going to face in the semifinals of the NBA playoffs. This is only one of Doc's strategies, hiding his aces and reserve it on the bigger battle maybe with the Cleveland and Lakers. He is up to something that will amaze and surprise the basketball world that he is the only one can see.
