Mavs owning the tie breaker over Suns was huge.
They will own the tie breaker with Pelicans if they have a better division record. Mavs are 8-5 right now, Pels 9-6.
Kings own tie breaker with Mavs, 2-0 in the season series. Mavs play Kings twice in March, need to win both.
One would think that a seven game winning streak makes a difference but it really hasn't changed anything in the standings. Mavs started as the 8th seed (26-23). Jumped up to the 6th seed (33-23). Lost one game. Fell all the way back to the 8th seed (33-24). Now in a three-way tie with NO and Sacramento. 0.5 games behind Phoenix.
And just three games behind them the Lakers and Warriors are making a push for a playoff spot. Lakers 7-3 over the last ten games. Warriors 8-2.
