#4 LAC 43-25 -

#6 DAL 41-29 3GB
#7 PHX 41-29 3GB
#8 SAC 40-29 3.5GB
This finish is going to be fascinating to watch. Can the Mavs get to 5? The Pelicans without Ingram for at least two weeks makes it seem plausible. Do we even want the Mavs to jump up to 5? That probably sets up a first round matchup with the Clippers and if you’re fortunate to win that series you probably get the defending champs in round 2.
There’s certainly no easy road in the West but my ideal scenario is still Denver finishing 1 and Dallas 6, keeping them on the OKC/MIN side of the bracket. But a run of LAC - DEN - OKC - BOS championship would rival the 2011 one as the greatest ever.
Heard this morning that Heuter has a shoulder dislocation and labrum tear. Is out until at least April 2nd. So games with DAL will be without a key SAC player.
Is one of the SAC games a makeup from earlier this year?
