<p>The Dallas Mavericks are holding on to their playoff spot in the Western Conference by a single thread. And with a stretch in which they’ll play the Clippers, Pistons, Pacers, Hornets, Cavs, Warriors and Blazers twice over a two-week period, things could get fairly complicated for Dallas.</p>

<p>The Mavs better hope it is.</p>. (33-30). Previous: 12th. Dallas Mavericks. 15. team. 79
