The standings don't really matter, they're not getting a Top-4 seed and with the way they play at home, having homecourt advantage is pointless.
I think this is actually incredibly accurate.
1) The Mavs need playoff experience in any form.
2) The Mavs need to preserve the health of their stars.
3) The Mavs can get the 18th pick if they play it right versus having the 24th pick and a not much better playoff position. That 18th pick could be crucial in upgrading the roster.
