I agree. Utah's remaining schedule looks a bit tougher than the Mavs' remaining schedule:

To "pass Utah," Dallas will need to finish the regular season with a BETTER record than Utah, because it would be very difficult for the Mavs to win a 2-team tie-breaker against the Jazz (i.e., if Utah and Dallas finish the regular season with the same W-L record).
Obviously, the Mavs vs. Jazz game on Sunday [March 27] is a big one.
