DALLAS - Gilbert Arenas had 29 points and nine assists, helping stake the Washington Wizards (web | news) to an early lead over the revamped Dallas Mavericks and keeping them ahead throughout the final three quarters on their way to a 102-91 victory Tuesday night.

Arenas shot 10 of 21 and made 8-of-9 free throws for his most points since Nov. 14, 2007. He played only 13 games that season, then had a total of 26 points in two games last season, all because of knee problems. He's feeling so good now that he's not even wearing a brace.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 34 points, but was only 10 of 25. He was 12 of 13 from the foul line - all in the first half. Shawn Marion had 16 points, seven rebounds and three blocks in his Dallas debut.
