Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle steadfastly believes Dirk Nowitzki will be one of the seven Western Conference reserves chosen to participate in next month’s NBA All-Star game.

“He’ll make it. I just have a feeling that he will,” Carlisle said Sunday night. “But if he doesn’t, it’s great because he’ll have rest. But I do think, you look at his stats, the load he’s carrying, and the production in the minutes. If he was playing the minutes that most of those guys are playing, he’d be a 25-point scorer instead of a 20-point scorer, so we’ll see.”
