Will that be enough, however?
The Blazers are playing the best basketball that they’ve played all year long, the Rockets still have all that talent and could realistically make a run at any moment and the Utah Jazz probably have the second-most talent of the bunch. The Mavs survive another week as a playoff team, but we’ll see how long that lasts.

Dallas Mavericks (32-28)
Last week: 2-1
Last rank: 14
The Dallas Mavericks are doing everything in their power to hold off the Portland Trail Blazers, Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz for one of the three final playoff spots in the Western Conference. On paper, you’d think that the Mavs have no chance to snag one of the last three spots, but they’ve actually been the most consistent team of the four.
