This week for the TNT double-header, there will be a slate full of Western Conference teams looking to continue their pursuit of a strong playoff seed to best prepare them for the postseason. All four have realistic shots at the playoffs and all four should be looking for a win after each has had their fair share of trials and tribulations.
First, the Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors will clash in Dallas as both look to better their less-than-stellar records. Golden State is currently sitting at ninth in the Western Conference at 11-10. Similarly, Dallas is 9-10 which has them all the way outside of the play-in tournament at 11th in the Western Conference.
