The Dallas Mavericks are taking advantage of a soft part of their schedule, and have made a move up the Western Conference rankings. The team is riding a four-game win streak thanks to the insane heroics of Luka Doncic during Tuesday night’s win against the New York Knicks. They wrap up 2022 with a couple games that should extend the streak, though their struggles against teams with a losing record is well known.
There is some fortune in all this, as the team reached this part of their schedule while battling a bad injury bug.
