I honestly think the Mavs matchup pretty well against DEN. At least better than the Clips/PHX/UTA
I do think them losing Murray will show itself more in the playoffs than the regular season, because once that game slows down a dynamic guard thats a 2nd option is what you need for Jokic when the double team comes. MPJ can be that but his defense makes playing against him easier imo.
All this to say that DEN would be a tough out, but probably the Mavs best chance. I don't think they have any one that can stop Luka. And they don't have a clear cut defender that can stop KP. If the Mavs shooters show up I think we have a chance in a 7 game series.
