With just four wins in their last 13 road games, the Dallas Mavericks have had to rely on their home-court advantage to put itself in playoff position.
If the Dallas Mavericks are a group, as implied by the use of the possessive adjective "their," shouldn't they be putting "themselves in playoff position" rather than putting "itself in playoff position"?
