The Mavericks are the prime example of how quickly a team can shift direction. Entering week 16 of NBA action they held a 22-27 record.
Flash forward approximately a month and Dallas has won just six additional times compared to 14 losses. This period also coincides with the date the Mavericks landed Kristaps Porzingas to pair alongside Luka Doncic.
Suddenly, the Mavericks rank 25th and could still fall further down the list especially if the Hawks keep winning. The irony here is the Mavericks owe Atlanta but it’s top five protected.
