The Dallas Mavericks and the rest of the NBA are a quarter of the way through the 2018-19 season (when you read, it will be even more). Teams have played more than 20 games, so we can make the first conclusions that will not fall under the magic of over/under reaction.
After a less than stellar start to the season from the Mavs, fans started talking about the possibility of the team keeping their 2019 draft pick. However, a fantastic winning streak from Dallas has brought them above .500 and in the playoff race in the Western Conference.
