I think the Mavs can go 6-6 to finish January.
Remaining games:
Vs. POR W
Vs. DEN L
Vs. DEN L
@ NOP (b2b) L
Vs. OKC W
@ CHA L
Vs. MIN L
@ OKC (b2b - Kyrie return?) W
Vs. BOS L
Vs. WSH W
@ NOP W
@ DET
6-6 leaves you 5 games over .500. If you win the remaining 33 games at a .700 rate (23-10), then you reach 50 wins.
There's some hopium for the day!
The Mavs need a win against Detroit to go 6-6 like I hoped. The news on Exum seems promising and the game against the Cavs, 2 Feb, still feels like a solid prediction. Maybe Luka's return is more likely 8 Feb against the Rockets, the start of a 4-game home-stand before the ASB.
