Mavs coach wary of burning out B-Wright?
Brandan Wright - F/C - Dallas Mavericks
March 21, 2013 - 1:00 AM ET

Rick Carlisle praised Brandan Wright after Friday's game, but said he's wary of playing Wright too many minutes and burning him out.

Wright is averaging 11.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in the past six games, inspiring Carlisle to monitor the minutes of a guy he buried on the bench all season. The Mavs play four times this week, which makes Wright a viable fantasy option in spite of the threatening presence of Chris Kaman and Elton Brand.
