The Dallas Mavericks have quietly gone 5-1 in their last 6 (with the one loss being by 1 point in OT)
The Mavs just won their 3rd in a row and 5th in the last 6. This is despite having zero NBA level centers (Lively and Powell were already hurt, then AD and Gafford got hurt during this stretch). PJ, who is their next best option at the 5, has also been out for some games during this stretch. Yet they've defeated Boston on the road, Houston, Golden State, Miami, and New Orleans with a narrow loss to Sacramento. Kyrie has led the team well, scoring 30 in his last 3. And Max Christie has averaged 17/5/3 since being traded to Dallas. If we get our centers back by playoff time, we could upset someone.
