DALLAS (Ticker) - The Dallas Mavericks aim for a seventh consecutive triumph Tuesday when they host the Washington Wizards.

Jason Terry and Jerry Stackhouse each finished with 15 points for the Mavericks, who shot just 39 percent (32-of-82) from the floor.

The Wizards snapped a three-game losing streak with a 111-99 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.

Gilbert Arenas led the Wizards with 45 points while Antawn Jamison chipped in 16.

Dallas swept the teams' two meetings last season.
