I think if the Mavs go 5-3 they can avoid the play-in. Lakers and Blazers have a tougher remaining schedule on paper. The wild cards are that the Mavs play poorly against weak competition and some of the tougher teams remaining for L.A. and Portland might rest their starters as the season winds down. It is all within reach for the Mavs.
