Per DMN
Dallas and New Orleans split their season series, 2-2, but the next tie-breaker for teams that are in the same division is division record. The Mavericks are 10-5 in division play; the Pelicans are 9-6. Both teams have one division game remaining.
The Mavericks would clinch the tie-breaker over New Orleans with a Pelicans loss to the Spurs on Friday; or a Dallas win over Houston in American Airlines Center next Sunday. If the teams finish with the same division record, the next tie-breaker would be conference record. Dallas is 29-19 against the West; the Pelicans are 26-19.
