15. Dallas Mavericks (1-3)

The fact that this Dallas Mavericks team got one against the Oklahoma City Thunder was an accomplishment enough. If they get another, it’s just gravy.

With that said, the Mavs have a huge offseason coming up, too. For a team that exceeded expectations a bit this year, especially with Wes Matthews not looking like his pre-injury self and Chandler Parsons suffering a season-ending injury (again), if they hit one home run this summer they could be in good shape heading into next season.

But that’s easier said than done. Doest Dirk Nowitzki give Mark Cuban one more summer to get the job done? With the option of joining a contender and chasing one more title, that could be a tough decision for him to make this summer.
