Dallas Mavericks in a potential run for a playoff 

As the Dallas Mavericks won over the Miami Heat, they made it into the playoffs position. They are over the New Orleans Pelicans (47-32) by two games with three games remaining in the regular season. If the Mavericks lose against Miami, they can still win the division if the New Orleans Pelicans lose to the Sacramento Kings on Thursday.



Dallas Mavericks has won 15 of its past 17 games, beginning with a 114-108 victory over the Heat on March 7 at the American Airlines Centre.
