The surging Mavericks look to improve on the NBA's best record Wednesday when they host the Portland Trail Blazers.
The defending Western Conference champion, Dallas saw its 13-game winning streak come to an end Sunday in a 101-98 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
However, the Mavericks bounced back in a big way with Tuesday's 108-105 victory at Utah. Nowitzki scored 38 points and Josh Howard added 21 points for Dallas, which concluded a three-game road swing.
Dallas on Wednesday aims for its 10th consecutive home win against a Portland squad which has dropped three of its last four on the road.
Zach Randolph had 24 points and nine rebounds and rookie LaMarcus Aldridge scored 17 off the bench for the Trail Blazers in Tuesday's 98-84 loss to San Antonio.
The Trail Blazers have lost their last 11 meetings with the Mavericks and have not beaten Dallas since December 23, 2003.
