The Mavericks are definitely in the playoff mix and they are hoping to improve upon their 8th place status in the West. "Everything is still in reach," Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki said. "We just have to play well together and we’ll be right there." Dallas will be missing big man Josh Howard on Tuesday night. He missed Saturday’s 119-103 win over Washington with a sprained left ankle. "Without Josh Howard right now, we have to get our attempts up," said guard Jason Terry, "It’s a big void to fill. Dirk and I taking 20 or 25 shots a night wouldn’t be crazy." Nowitzki is averaging 29.7 points in his last six games. He has averaged 30.6 points in his last 10 games against Phoenix.
