The Dallas Mavericks are showing the promise many predicted before the season, but are they true title contenders? Luka Doncic and company entered the 2020 playoffs as massive underdogs to the Clippers in the first round, only to push LA to six games. If Kristaps Porzingis did not get injured that could have been a completely different series.
The Mavs shook things up a bit in the offseason. They traded Seth Curry for Josh Richardson and acquired James Johnson, Wesley Iwundu, and four promising rookies.
