The Mavs’ hot streak has Dallas on the verge of clinching a top-6 seed in the West and avoiding the NBA play-in tournament.
This handout photo provided by the Dallas Mavericks shows Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum celebrating his last second three pointer with teammate Luka Doncic as Houston Rockets defenders Reggie Bullock Jr. , Jabari Smith Jr. and Jalen Green look on at the end of the fourth quarter of an NBA basketball game Sunday, April 7, 2024 in Dallas. By Monday afternoon Doncic appeared to be refreshed and upbeat as the Mavericks traveled to Charlotte to begin the final week of the regular season.
With a win Tuesday and help elsewhere, though, Dallas would assure itself of at least five days of rest following the April 14 end of the regular season. The play-in tournament is April 16-19 and the playoffs start on April 20th and 21st. Assuming he plays on Tuesday, it would be Doncic’s 69th game, the second-most he has played during his six-year NBA career. His career high is the 72 games he played as a rookie in 2018-19.
