Having beaten the Dallas Mavericks in the 2006 NBA finals, the Miami Heat aren’t about to complain about their extensive regular-season failures against Dirk Nowitzki and company. Even as well as Miami is currently playing, Dwyane Wade’s absence may mean those struggles are doomed to continue. The Heat have won five straight games overall - including their latest without Wade - but they’ll again be without their superstarSaturday night as they try to compete a 5-0 road swing and avoid a 12th consecutive regular-season loss to the Mavericks.

Dallas had won four straight games against Miami heading into the 2006 finals, so it was no surprise when the Mavericks jumped out to a 2-0 series lead. However, Wade wouldn’t let his team lose, averaging 39.3 points as the Heat won four straight games to claim their first championship. That eight-day stretch now looks like an aberration. The Heat have lost 11 straight regular-season meetings to Dallas by an average of 13.8 points, including a 106-93 home defeat Dec. 11.Wade has missed three of those losses due to injury, and he’ll be sidelined again on Saturday after straining his left calf Wednesday during a victory over New Jersey, Miami’s fourth straight overall.
