Community Picks: Miami 0% vs Dallas 0%

Dirk Nowitzki is one of the best star 3-point shooters in NBA history. The Dallas Mavericks legend will be a part of the 2019 MTN DEW 3-Point Contest this upcoming weekend at the 2019 NBA All-Star Game in Charlotte, North Carolina.

As the Dallas Mavericks welcome the struggling Miami Heat to town Wednesday night, the final game for both teams before the All-Star break, it's a story of the new guard -- precisely a 6-foot-7 point guard -- replacing the old guard.

Dallas believes so highly in its young Slovenian star that it traded away its entire starting lineup to land 7-foot-3 Kristaps Porzingis -- who won't even play this season as he continues to recover from a torn ACL -- and to clear out salary-cap space to make a run at key free agents to build around Doncic.

There was only a little over a minute left in Houston's game and it looked as if James Harden's streak of 30-point games would be ending. Harden brought the ball down the court and was enveloped by two defenders near the 3-point line, so he passed to Chris Paul, who drew the defense away. After a couple of dribbles Paul turned and got it back to Harden, who stepped back and sunk a 3-pointer over Dorian Finney-Smith to keep the streak alive. Continue to Article

James Harden scored 31 points for his 30th straight 30-point game despite dealing with a shoulder injury, leading the Houston Rockets to a 120-104 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night. Harden, who had eight rebounds and seven assists, seemed to be a bit slowed early by the strained left shoulder that he injured on Saturday against Oklahoma City, making just one of his first seven shots. But he warmed up after that and finished 9 of 23, capped by his sixth 3-pointer with less than a minute left to put him over 30 and keep the streak going. Continue to Article
