"Dallas is just 7-15 on the season and sitting at the 12th seed in the Western Conference. They have lost six of their last 10 games, and it will be a back-to-back underperforming West team matchup for the Heat- following their blowout home victory over the LA Clippers the other night. Miami beat the Mavericks just over one week ago, and will look to go 2-0 against them on the season."
"Anthony Davis, who sat out of that Heat's recent matchup with the Mavs, is expected to be available for this one. Davis still adds some star power even in the midst of a slight down year amid injury concerns. The matchup between former Team USA teammate Bam Adebayo will be something to keep an eye on. As for Miami's injury report, Norman Powell is listed as questionable due to a rolled ankle he suffered in the fourth quarter of Monday's game."
Miami opens a two-game road trip against the 7-15 Dallas Mavericks, who sit 12th in the Western Conference and have lost six of their last 10 games. Miami defeated Dallas just over one week ago and can complete a season sweep. Anthony Davis, who did not play in the previous Heat-Mavs meeting, is expected to be available. Norman Powell and Pelle Larsson are listed as questionable with an ankle and toe injury respectively, which could force another new Heat starting lineup. Kel'el Ware is coming off a quiet game and may need to step up. Dallas has multiple key players listed questionable or out.
