The Dallas Mavericks embark on their annual visit to Philips Arena on Wednesday evening and the Atlanta Hawks welcome them with open arms. What ensues will be an interesting match-up and, of course, Dirk Nowitzki's presence always adds a layer of intrigue. For Atlanta, it will be an opportunity to win back-to-back games, but nothing will come easy against a Dallas team that is suddenly playing a (very) respectable brand of basketball as the calendar flips to March.
Stay tuned throughout the evening for all the latest and, as always, let's keep the discussion civil in the comments.
