NBA Power Rankings: Boston Celtics, LA Clippers are getting hot at the right time

11. Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks are an interesting team that has begun to play better as of late (in comparison to where this team was a few weeks ago). Luka Doncic is one of the best players in the NBA and has continued to show that over the last couple of weeks.

He’s almost single-handedly carrying the Mavericks to the playoffs and, depending on the matchup, will be a force for any team in the first round. If the Mavericks could avoid a team such as the LA Clippers, I’m not sure we should count them out against anyone in the first round of the playoffs.

That’s just a testament to how good Luka and is and how talented this coaching staff and roster are.
