The Dallas Mavericks will take a trip to FTX Stadium to face the Miami Heat on Tuesday, February 15. In the only meeting between the two teams this season, the Heat prevailed, courtesy of a 25-point performance from Tyler Herro.
The Mavericks come into this game off the back of a disappointing 99-97 loss to the LA Clippers. In a close game, the Clippers’ resilience paid off. The Mavs hope to bounce back strong from the narrow loss and get back on track Tuesday.
However, their opponents are an in-form Miami Heat team, who posted an impressive 115-111 victory over the Brooklyn Nets.
Bam Adebayo starred with 19 points and 14 rebounds. The Heat are currently on top of the East and will look to extend their streak with another win at home.

Dallas Mavericks forward
The Dallas Mavericks made big moves at the trade deadline. They moved an important piece of Kristaps Porzingingis to the Washington Wizards.
Many believe the move won’t do the Mavs much good. That’s because in return they got Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans, who have not had good seasons so far.
The Mavericks are currently fifth in the West, going 33-24 on the season. They have been playing brilliantly in recent games and would love to keep that form.
They will have their homework cut out against the Heat. However, they have shown their prowess at both ends of the pitch. If they put in a good performance at FTX Arena, the Dallas Mavericks will want to get a positive result.
Key Player – Luka Doncic
Luka Doncic is considered one of the greatest talents to emerge from Europe in recent times. He has continued the brilliance of his this season as well, and has looked extremely difficult to break.
The Slovenian had two fantastic games against the Clippers, scoring 51 and 45 points. He will be looking to continue in the same way in this game and lead the Mavericks to a victory along the way.
