The Mavericks were a huge disappointment for the first month and a half of the season, but lately they have started to recover and play more at their talent level. Hit them before the punters catch up. Dallas has won four of its last five games, with the only loss by just three points against the Trail Blazers. The offense has been incredibly consistent, having scored at least 116 points in seven straight games. Memphis, on the other hand, is just 4-7 in its last 11 games. Things are even worse than that would suggest, as all four wins in that span were against the Pistons, Thunder, Kings and Hornets. They can't keep up with the most talented teams in the league.
