The Dallas Mavericks (37-40) pay their fourth straight road game, this time against the Miami Heat (40-37) Saturday night on NBAtv or BallySports Southwest. It’s an important game for both teams. Dallas needs to figure out what they want as an organization. It’s assumed they still want to make the NBA Play-in, though why they want that doesn’t make much sense as they’d have to win a lot of games in a row once they got there and Dallas simply cannot do that based on a season’s worth of evidence. The Heat are on a three-game spiral and are the top seed in the East’s Play-in tournament.
