The Mavericks' magic number to clinch a playoff spot under the format approved by the Board of Governors is 2. Dallas will play eight more games before the playoffs. Currently the Mavs are 1.5 back of both OKC and Houston, and 2.5 back of Utah.

Dallas is 40-27. Memphis is 32-33. Unless I'm a dummy (which, let's be honest, is very possible) the Grizz could pass the Mavs based on win percentage by going 8-0 if Dallas goes 0-8 or 1-7. And an 8-0 run by one of POR/NOP/SAS would bring them within 4 GB of Dallas if 1-7/0-8.
