Heat Look To Build On Three-Game Streak
The Miami Heat play host to the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Arena on Tuesday evening.

The Heat (35-30) have won seven of their last 10 games, including their last three in a row. They will look to keep rolling and add to their, 19-14, home record, as they face the first game of a two-game home stand. Jimmy Butler continues to lead the Heat, averaging 21.5 points, 7.2 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game. Bam Adebayo is also playing well, averaging 19.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks, while Kendrick Nunn is averaging 14.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. The Heat are averaging 107.0 points per game, which is fourth fewest in the league, but they are holding opponents to an average of 107.3 points per game, which is third fewest in the league. Victor Oladipo (knee) and Tyler Herro (foot) remain sidelined.

Meanwhile, the Mavericks (36-28), have won six of their last 10 games, but they are coming off a loss in their most recent contest. They will look to bounce back and add to their, 19-13, road record, building on a two-game win streak on the road. Luka Doncic leads the Mavericks, averaging 28.6 points, 8.9 assists, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals, in 35 minutes per game. Dorian Finney-Smith is playing well lately, averaging 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals, over his last nine games. Josh Richardson is averaging 12.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. The Mavs do a great job taking care of the ball, as they limit themselves to 11.5 turnovers per game, which is third fewest in the league. They do a good job on the defensive end, as they are holding opponents to an average of 110.0 points per game, which is eight fewest in the league. Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has missed the last two contests and remains questionable for action on Tuesday.
