Mavs can take care of catching #3 spot, which ensures avoiding PHX until WCF. Everything else is out of their control and they should not worry.
UTA has a tougher remaining schedule than DEN, but they playing PHX late, who might be resting players already.
GSW has PHX/UTA this week, but then Kings/Lakers/Spurs/Pels as the last 4. However, the last 3 game opponents might still fight for play-in spots.
MIN also has a mix of mid-level and weaker opponents. Games against TOR and DEN this week are most interesting.
My guess would be:
DAL in 3 with 52 wins
GSW in 4 with 51
DEN at 5 with 50
UTA at 6 with 49
MIN in 7 with 47
