Mavericks owner Mark Cuban isn’t thinking much about Lamar Odom’s low season averages.

"Lamar is not playing where Lamar would like to play, but he continues to contribute," Cuban said. "He does things that you're not going to get elsewhere _ and we're winning, that's all that matters.

"I think what people are going to overemphasize are individual game stats, which in this type of (condensed) season are not only misleading, but misrepresentative of contribution.

"I mean, all the traditional stats and things that teams use are worthless. Because you don't want to play guys as many minutes, right? And playing against teams that have just played seven games in nine nights is a different scenario than playing a team coming off three days of rest."
