Dallas Mavericks

  • ’17-18 Record: 24-58
  • ’17-18 Season Series: 3-0 (Jazz)
  • ’18-19 Advantage: Jazz

The Dallas Mavericks will be aiming for the playoffs after adding Luka Doncic and DeAndre Jordan to the fold.

Dallas has really improved, and the future is looking bright. I believe the Western Conference is simply too deep for them to earn a playoff berth this upcoming season, but they’re headed in the right direction.

The Jazz got the sweep against the Mavericks last year, but it’ll be a lot tougher this season. Dallas is always well-coached and ready to fight. Dennis Smith Jr and Luka Doncic in the back court are going to leave teams foiled for many years to come.
