Mavericks-Pistons Preview 1-10-12

(AP) -- Dirk Nowitzki is mired in a shooting slump for the Dallas Mavericks, though it may seem minimal compared to the recent lackluster efforts of the Detroit Pistons.

The Mavericks look to send the Pistons to their fifth consecutive loss when the teams meet Tuesday night at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Nowitzki is averaging 12.0 points and shooting 30.8 percent over his last three games, though Dallas (4-5) overcame his 2-for-11, 10-point effort in Saturday's 96-81 victory over New Orleans.

The Mavericks have won three of their last four games after dropping four of five to begin the season.
