The Dallas Mavericks have been consistent in their inconsistency this season. They have followed every loss with a win. For every confounding large lead lost is another dominant half of basketball.
That roller coaster of production is mirrored by a wild ride through power rankings across the media landscape. The team will have plenty of opportunity in this current homestand to steady themselves and take a step forward. For now, this is where they sit in this week’s power rankings watch.
Rank: 11 (Tier 3: Playoff teams)
Last week: 7
Cause for optimism: Luka Donu010diu0107 is shooting a Lakers-like 22.
