Love Josh Hart. Knicks seem to have a great locker room with the Villanova boys.

DiVincenzo has become quite the scorer.
He has always been a good shooter. Not great. But since mid january he is in prime Curry range when it comes to 3PA.
Oct 4.0 3PA
Nov 5.3 3PA
Dec 6.4 3PA
Jan 8.8 3PA
Feb 12.3 3PA
Mar 11.9 3PA
Not a fan of LBJ and I didn't expect all that much but this is great X's and O's talk. Maybe not for everyone but I prefer it over the long list of former/current players that just talk about bball culture/toughness/good old days.
Phoenix loses to SA without Wemby, then go to Denver and beat the champs. GS wins at Miami and Orlando and Draymond was ejected 4 minutes into the Orlando game. Houston won their 10th straight at OKC in OT, but SGA was out. It's why you can't get too high on wins, or too low on losses. Anything can happen.

The Clippers and the Suns wins hurt, would have been great for us if they had lost these close games.
While Dallas is supposed to have one of the weaker remaining schedules, it is worth noting that Houston has won 10 in a row. We also play Golden State twice. There is nothing easy about the Mavs remaining opponents. This will be a dogfight right up until the last game.

Moreover, Murphy's Mavs Law says that however many of the last ten games they don't win, that's how much their competitors in the standings (who are also very good and very motivated) will beat them out by. Can't take anything for granted. Luka and co. need to treat every single one of these last ten games the way they treated the Tuesday night game - that is, like a one-and-done. That said, none of the other nine games matters more than Friday night's, and they've already demonstrated how the dominant their current roster is over the Kings'. I can give them a pass on any one game (maybe even two or three games) of the last nine, but no excuses not to win Friday.
Edit: Case in point - surely the Mavs can trust the contender Bucks to help them out by beating the upstart Pels tonight, right? Nope.

I have to think the Kings will be better on Friday after that mauling. It's hard to beat a team twice in a few days on their court, but Atlanta did it as they beat Boston again tonight behind DeJounte Murray's career high 44 pts, so it's possible.

Dejoiunte Murray with an ice cold game winner here.
Had 44/7/7 tonight. Took him 44 shots to get 44 points. 1 point per shot!
