OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- The Dallas Mavericks look to maintain their dominance of the Golden State Warriors when the teams meet Wednesday at The Arena in Oakland.

The Mavericks have won 22 of the last 24 meetings, including two of three this season. They reeled off 20 wins in a row from 1999-2004 before losing in Oakland to close last season's series.

Both teams carry three-game winning streaks into Wednesday's action. Dallas dropped the first of four games at home before taking the next three, including a 103-86 victory over New Orleans on Monday.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 points and grabbed eight rebounds and rookie Devin Harris made the most of his minutes with 17 points off the bench.

The win bumped the Mavericks to 11-4 overall under coach Avery Johnson, who took over the reins when Don Nelson retired Saturday, and pulled the club within 5 1/2 games of the San Antonio Spurs in the Southwest Division.

The Warriors' three-game run is one shy of matching a season-high and includes a pair of impressive victories at Phoenix and Sacramento.

In a 104-94 win over the Kings on Sunday, Troy Murphy finished with 29 points and 14 rebounds, helping Golden State offset the absence of leading scorer Jason Richardson, who was attending to personal matters.

Richardson, who was named Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday, is expected back in action Wednesday for the first of three straight games at home.

Nowitzki scored 35 points in Dallas' 114-107 win over Golden State on February 15.
