Can the Dallas Mavericks win it all this season?

The Mavs might have an easy road to the playoffs, but not to the Finals. Luka Doncic stands as the sole performer, averaging a season-high 33.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 8.6 assists. The Mavs currently have a 25-24 record as they stand as the 6th seed in the Western Conference.

The team lost their last two games to the Los Angeles Clippers and the Washington Wizards. Doncic’s 41-point game was not enough for the team to get past the Wizards. Although the Slovenian guard has a great playoff experience, without proper support from his teammates, the Mavs might fumble in the post-season. ?
