Let’s be honest with each other for a moment: it’s hard to watch Mavericks games right now.
The thrill of watching Dennis Smith Jr. show off new tricks is still there, but the novelty of the rookie has worn off a tad. The Mavericks aren’t making a playoff push (obviously) and outside of Smith, the Mavs don’t have a ton of young blue-chippers on the roster. Watching games feels like a slow burn.
So finding things to watch for in the final 14 games seems like a tall order. However, basketball is precious and the Mavericks are still doing things, so there are things worth paying attention to.
