The Dallas Mavericks have clinched the Southwest Division title and a postseason berth with one week remaining in the regular season. Superstar Luka Doncic and his team are still fighting to avoid the play-in tournament.
At the start of play on May 10. Dallas is two games ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers for seventh in the Western Conference. Only the top six teams in each conference advanced directly to the playoffs this year. Seven through ten are play-in bound.
