DALLAS — Collecting back-to-back wins on their home floor to inch back into playoff contention, the Dallas Mavericks will now attempt to avenge one of their most disappointing displays this season Wednesday night in Atlanta.
Sprinting to a 96-83 win over New Orleans on Saturday, the Mavericks (24-35) then staged a 12-0 run to end Monday night’s 96-89 victory over Miami. The Mavs will now try to carry that momentum over to Wednesday’s matchup against the Hawks (33-26), looking to avenge a 97-82 defeat on their home hardwood back on Jan. 7. Meanwhile, the Mavericks will find themselves minus two of their top contributors, continuing to play without reserve guard J.
