Nowitzki will not play tonight

The Rockets have some weight off their shoulder tonight as they look to make it 17 straight, Dirk Nowitzki will be serving his suspension tonight. If you didn't see the flagrant foul that Nowitzki put on Andrei Kirilenko it was pretty cheap and pretty classless, on that note, it might be the most intensity, guts or edge that Noiwtzki has shown over the years.
