What do the Dallas Mavericks need to make the Playoffs?
The first goal of the Dallas Mavericks is to get into the West Play-In. In other words, finish in the top ten of the standings. One goal they would achieve today, but which is far from a guarantee: right now they are seventh but with barely a match up at 11, Los Angeles Lakers.
A more ambitious goal for Dallas is is in the top six and by doing so, qualify directly to the 1st Round of the Playoffs. This goal is not far away: they just appear half a match behind the sixth Golden State Warriors.
What seems more complicated is getting to the Top 4 and have home-field advantage in the 1st round of the postseason. Today they seem to two and a half matches from that place, into his hands Phoenix Sans.
Currently, the The Mavericks’ opponent in the Play-In would be the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Jokic was injured in the final seconds of the first half of the 123-147 loss to the Miami Heat and limped heavily on his way to the locker room. He did not return to the site after a long time.
Before his injury, Nikola managed to produce 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes on the field.
Losing Jokic could be a big blow for Denver, as starters Christian Braun (ankle injury), Aaron Gordon (hip issue) and Cam Johnson (knee injury) remain sidelined.
Jokic averaged 29.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game this season.

After that, the home team slowly started to close the gap and entered the long break with a score of 11-11 at 54:65. The third quarter was tied, so Orlando still had a double-digit advantage ahead of the final: 94:84. At the beginning of the match the play followed the same scenario but in the middle Toronto made a move with 15:0 and not only won it back but also took the lead with 105:102.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
