Three of the next four games - the Nets hungry for a win, the Cavs on the SEGABABA, and the Grizz trying to stay in the upper bracket of the playin - will be quite challenging. If the Mavs can win out over the next four games, they can play the last three games for positioning, especially the last game - ensuring they play the wounded Nuggets instead of the rough matchup of the Clipps. A lot to ask. I think the Mavs have it in them; they just have to dig deep and make it happen game-to-game. I would say this game is the most important - if they don't win, they'll likely have to go at least 5-1 in the last six games to avoid the playin.
Don't see how you think Denver will be a walk in the park. Even without Murray. Jokic can beat you damn near by himself with his all around skillset, just as Luka can. The only way I give them a chance is if the Mavs shoot the blood out the ball for damn near all the games, and KP has to be on the court, not the sideline.
