Dallas Mavericks 8-3 (1-1 DIV)

Last week: 4-0 Last rank: 4

Finally, a ranking that Dallas Mavericks fans can be somewhat happy about. Dallas is in a similar position to Houston as a team that could be the best team in another division.Mavericks fans should be ecstatic about the team’s play recently with four wins in a row for the franchise. The only issue about those four wins was that three of them were at home and the win on the road was against the struggling Charlotte Hornets. While some might be tempted to place Dallas over Houston, it is important to take into consideration perspective. Houston won three of its games on the road and its only loss was to the team with the best record in the NBA. The Mavericks do have a shot at moving up some more for next week though with games against stiff competition upcoming.

Up Next This Week: Nov. 19 @ Washington, Nov. 21 vs. Los Angeles Lakers, Nov. 22 @ Houston
