The bigger fear for me, draft-wise, is that Steph Curry is coming back soon -- he's gonna mess up that second rounder, isn't he? GSW are closer to moving that pick 9 spots from where it currently sits than we are to missing the playoffs.
We were only .500 in the 6 games before Doncic was injured too. It's not like we were playing outstanding basketball before his injury. If Mavs return to .500 and the other teams stay as hot as they've been:

Grizzlies 50-32
Mavs 46-36
Blazers 44-38

Then again, here's the ranking of the difficulty of remaining schedule

1) Grizzlies - the hardest schedule of any of the 30 teams
19) Dallas
26) Portland

Portland has a way easier schedule to overcome us. If Grizzlies keep it up against a ridiculously hard schedule then they both will. Regardless, it's gonna be really fun.
