The Dallas Mavericks are dropping in the latest NBA power rankings. The Dallas Mavericks are experiencing success against the best team in the NBA in the Oklahoma City Thunder. This past week, the Mavs won their third meeting against them on the season. However, they have also won just four of their last 15 games. Due to this, NBA.com writer John Schuhmann put the Mavs at No. 13 in his weekly power rankings, one spot lower than last week.
“The Mavericks continue to beat the Thunder, but they’ve dropped 11 of their last 15 games, falling from fourth to ninth place in the West during that time. Schuhmann reports that Luka Dončić and Dereck Lively II are still sidelined, while Maxi Kleber suffered a foot fracture in Saturday’s loss to the Celtics. “The Mavs’ longest road trip of the season (five games over nine days) begins Wednesday in New Orleans and includes games in Cleveland and Boston.”
The Mavericks return to action tonight, hosting the league-worst Washington Wizards. Tip-off is slated for 7:30 p.m. CT.
