DALLAS An eight-game stretch is upon the Dallas Mavericks that may define their season as a playoff contender or lottery member.
Dallas plays seven of its next eight against sub-.500 teams. The other game is a winnable matchup against the Utah Jazz, fifth in the West, at American Airlines Center.
Still, forward Justin Anderson said it’s not always advisable to circle games on a calendar or look forward to games being in the win column.
They’re all important, but we’re trying put ourselves in a position to be at .500 or above by the end of the season.
