DALLAS (Ticker) -- Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks have proved this season that good things can come by the dozen.

Nowitzki and the Mavericks aim for their second 12-game winning streak this season when they host the Indiana Pacers on Thursday.

Dallas won 12 consecutive games from November 9-December 1 after dropping its first four games this season. Since dropping a 101-79 decision at Utah on December 11, the Mavericks have won 11 straight contests. They are the only club with two double-digit winning streaks.

Nowitzki battled through a sinus infection to finish with 31 points and a season-high 15 rebounds in Tuesday's 112-88 win over the Seattle SuperSonics. Dallas has held its last 10 opponents under 100 points.

All-Star Jermaine O'Neal had 27 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks for the Pacers, who suffered a 113-102 to the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday.

Dallas won both meetings against Indiana a year ago and six of the last seven games.
