Get ready for a thrilling showdown as the Dallas Mavericks (7-15) return home to face the red-hot Miami Heat (14-7) on Wednesday night—a game you won’t want to miss! But here’s where it gets controversial: Can the injury-plagued Mavs pull off an upset against a Heat team firing on all cylinders? Tune in at 7:30 p.m. on WFAA to find out. Below, we’ll break down everything you need to know to watch the game, including how to ensure the clearest broadcast signal via KFAA (https://www.wfaa.com/article/sports/nba/mavericks/dallas-mavericks-2025-2026-schedule-watch-on-kfaa/287-6ff5030c-7288-48a6-89b7-c415c9314c98).
The Mavericks are fresh off a thrilling 131-121 victory over the Denver Nuggets, thanks to Anthony Davis’s dominant return with a 32-point, 13-rebound double-double. And this is the part most people miss: Guard Ryan Nembhard stole the spotlight with his breakout performance, scoring 28 points on an impressive 12-14 shooting and adding 10 assists. Can he keep this momentum going against Miami?
Meanwhile, the Heat are on a roll, winning seven of their last 10 games and securing third place in the Eastern Conference. Leading their charge is the unlikely hero, Norman Powell. At 32 years old and in his 11th season, Powell is averaging 15 points per game—outshining Miami’s supposed stars, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo. Is Powell the Heat’s secret weapon, or just a temporary spark? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Despite injuries to key players like Powell and Andrew Wiggins, Miami secured a 106-102 win over Dallas earlier this season. This time, the Mavs are hoping to even the score, especially with Davis back in action and rookie Flagg showing early signs of stardom. But with Dallas’s injury report still lengthy—including Kyrie Irving (out with a knee injury) and Daniel Gafford (day-to-day with an ankle issue)—will they have enough firepower?
The Heat aren’t without their own injury concerns. Powell is questionable with an ankle injury, and Terry Rozier remains out due to federal charges. Does this level the playing field, or will Miami’s depth prevail?
This game promises high stakes and even higher emotions. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for upcoming matchups: the Mavs head to Oklahoma City on December 5th, host the Houston Rockets on December 6th (7:30 p.m. on KFAA), and face the Brooklyn Nets on December 12th (7:30 p.m. on KFAA).
