How Utah, PHX and Denver are playing out those last games will be huge for the Mavs. If they're resting up then Portland gets a big bonus. If there is still importance for seeding purposes then a potential 3 game skid for Portland down the stretch would be nice.
The way the Mavs are going they have such a high variance for these last 8 games. Stay out of the play in please!
Lakers have to be most scared. Next five games are brutal for them, especially with their stars still coming from injury or not even playing. Also 3 B2B for both Portland and LAL.
And we know at least one of them will lose at least one game
