Dallas Mavericks supporters have been pleasantly surprised this season. The team has taken a leap. Many experts predicted them as a fringe playoff contender, but the Mavs have exceeded that. They have 19 wins in 29 games heading into Christmas Day. Dallas is looking to grab home-court instead of just sneaking into the postseason.
A lot of factors have played into their increased success. The addition of Kristaps Porzingis gives them a consistent second star. Delon Wright, Seth Curry, and Boban Marjanovic had improved the team’s depth and given them a lot of added elements.
