Mavericks chances to shake things up in the west
There are ten games left in the regular season and the Dallas Mavericks are currently the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, but could the Mavs shake up the West with a win on Sunday?
If the Mavs were in the Eastern Conference they would currently be the fourth seed, with home court advantage and a contender to win the East, unfortunately that is not the case but they do have a chance to shake up the West on Sunday when they face the league leading Cleveland Cavilers.
If the Mavs can get a win on Sunday they would be just half a game out of the seventh seed and a one game out of the six seed. For the Mavs to make a solid run in the playoffs they have to avoid the Lakers for as long as possible.
The Mavericks have six of their remaining ten games at home where they are 26-9 on the year. However seven of the ten games are against plus .500 teams, with huge match ups with Utah, New Orleans and Phoenix all in one week. The playoffs start now for the Mavericks, its win or go home
