Power Rankings Week 23: Mavs Rise! - SleepingHero - 03-25-2024 https://www.nba.com/news/power-rankings-2023-24-week-23 #7 DALLAS MAVERICKS The Mavs have won seven of their last eight games, with the only loss having come without Luka Doncic, by single digits, and in Oklahoma City. They seem to be in a three-team race for the final guaranteed playoff spot in the Western Conference, tied in the loss column with both the sixth-place Suns and seventh-place Kings. Three takeaways
Having just handled the Jazz last week, the Mavs will now begin a five-game trip in Utah, with two huge games in Sacramento on Tuesday and Friday. No Western Conference offense has scored more efficiently against the Dallas defense than that of the Kings, who scored 127 points per 100 possessions as they won the two Mavs behind only the Nuggets, Wolves, OKC, and Pelicans. Call me delusional but if the Mavs continue the vibes I think they have a good shot at all of those teams. RE: Power Rankings Week 23: Mavs Rise! - Smitty - 03-25-2024 Mavs can’t look ahead to tomorrow nights matchup with the Kings. The last time in Salt Lake the Mavs got embarrassed 90-127. The starters in that game were Exum-Kai-DJJ-Luka-Lively so it’s not that they were short handed. Dirk Nowitzki: "Utah is a bad city." |
