Josh Howard is shining for the Mavericks

Howard, who is shooting just over 45 percent from the floor and over 83 percent from the foul line, has scored in double-digits in 34 contests and has collected seven double-doubles this season.

The Seattle SuperSonics try to get back on the winning track when they play the Mavericks on Tuesday at American Airlines Center. It is the third meeting of the campaign between the squads. Dallas defeated the SuperSonics in the two previous contests, winning once at home and on the road. The Mavericks have won eight in a row in the series. Seattle has lost three straight and eight of its last nine at Dallas.

The teams will meet one final time this season, as Seattle is scheduled to host the Mavericks on April 18th at KeyArena.

Dallas wraps up a two-game homestand against the SuperSonics. Dirk Nowitzki scored 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Mavericks over the disappointing Sacramento Kings, 106-104, at American Airlines Center.

Jason Terry ended with 18 points and seven assists in the win over Sacramento for the Mavericks, who have won 13 in a row at home. Jerry Stackhouse ended with 16 points off the bench, while Devin Harris had 14 points and six assists for Dallas.

The Mavericks are 20-3 at home this season. Their last loss at American Airlines Center was against the Detroit Pistons on December 7th. Dallas will visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday at the FedExForum. The Mavericks are 2-0 against Memphis this season and will host the Grizzlies on February 7th in the final meeting of the campaign between the squads.

Nowitzki leads the Mavericks in scoring (25.3 ppg) and rebounding (9.6 rpg).
