Who Wins This Playoff Series?

It all depends on health and Flagg's development.  If Flagg is LeBron then it's Dallas.

Davis = Durant if healthy.
Irving > van vleet if healthy
Lively = Sengun if he develops
Flagg >a Thompson 
Pjw= Jabari Smith

Gafford> capella
Thompson = next best on rockets

Too many ifs.  Davis, Kyrie and Lively all have major injury concerns and Lively would need to be healthy and have significant development to equal Segun.  Its also asking a lot for Flagg to be better than Thompson in his rookie year.

Also, Houston is a coherent quality team that just got a massive upgrade at one spot (and improved depth).  The Mavs are just a collection of parts right now.  Thier top three guys have not played together, and with Kyrie injury and potential AD missed time they will have little time together by the playoffs.
