2018 NBA Mock Draft 1.0: Mavericks take a forward at No. 5; Ayton No. 1 to Suns | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Dennis Smith Jr. put forth a strong candidate for NBA dunk of the year last night.

But the Mavericks 115-109 victory cost themselves sole possession of the fourth-worst record in the league. Thus, hurting their chances at receiving more ping-pong balls in the May 15 NBA Draft Lottery.

A lot can change between now and the end of the regular season. In Dallas' final four games they will travel to face the Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons, before they host the Phoenix Suns in the regular season finale on April 10.
