The Dallas Mavericks will be looking for their 36th win on Feb. 26 against the San Antonio Spurs. They have already topped last season’s win total. The Mavs are a near-lock to head back to the playoffs for the first time since 2016. It is difficult to argue with success.
Depth may be the Mavericks’ biggest strength. Having two stars makes winning easier, but they have the pieces to grab victories even when Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis are on the sidelines. The Mavs are so deep that talented players cannot even crack their nightly rotation.
