The Dallas Mavericks played five games in seven days last week. They lost to three different teams currently outside of the top eight in their conference. Luka Doncic willed the short-handed Mavs to two victories to keep their record even after 16 games.

Dallas has been without multiple rotation players since Jan. 7. They have dealt with COVID issues, but only had one game canceled. Josh Richardson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Maxi Kleber, and Dwight Powell all remain out due to the league’s health and safety protocols.
