So Utah has the tiebreaker vs. Denver... and their last game is vs. Portland, so it's going be extremely hard for them to lose that game, even in their current state.
In that case, 3rd or 4th finish is probably win-win for the Mavs. 3rd and we avoid the Suns' bracket, 4th and we get to play Utah first. Worst-case scenario is finishing 4th and Utah manages to lose to Portland, forcing us to face Denver 1st and then potentially the Suns if we win that series.
