On Thursday, April will be upon us and all foolish jokes aside, things are about to get serious for the Mavericks.
They are three games into a stretch of seven outings, all against teams .500 or worse with the exception of 24-22 New York on Friday.
So far they are 1-2.
Every game is taking on more importance. Losses usually mean a drop in the standings. Wins are like pure gold in playoff positioning.
On Saturday, they lost in New Orleans without Luka Donu010diu0107 and Kristaps Porzingis. They now are 1-4 when Donu010diu0107 is sidelined, 7-9 when Porzingis is out and 0-3 when they both are missing.
