They ended the month with six wins in a row and currently occupy the #4 seed in the Western Conference playoff standings.<\/p>\n<p>The Mavs&#8217; run began a couple days before Christmas with two close road victories against the Minnesota Timberwolves and Houston Rockets. The Mavs came from behind to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas, and then edged out the New York Knicks on overtime two nights later to extend their winning streak to four in a row. Their winning streak continued over the weekend with an easy victory against the Rockets, and a close shave against the San Antonio Spurs to end 2022 on a 6-0 spurt.<\/p>\n<p>The Mavs have an easy opponent on Monday night, when they return to Houston to take on the Rockets. The last-place Rockets are +7.5 home dogs.<\/p>\n<p>The Mavs face two tough foes later in the week when they host the Boston Celtics on Thursday, and then square off against the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">51 PTS<br \/>6 REB<br \/>9 AST<br \/>4 STL<br \/>6 3PM<br \/>W<\/p>\n<p>Luka has now dropped 50+ in 3 of his last 5 games.

Only 2.5 games separate the Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, and Dallas Mavs for the division title.<\/p>\n<p>The San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets combined for 50 losses already. Both teams are in the running to secure the #1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft Lottery and eventually select international phenom Victor Wembanyama.<\/p>\n<p>In late December, two top teams in the Southwest battled for the #1 seed in the Western Conference. The Memphis Grizzlies were in contention for the best record in the west even though starting shooting guard Desmond Bane was sidelined for over a month with a toe injury. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/new-orleans-pelicans-zion-williamson-1-seed-western-conference\/\">New Orleans Pelicans were also jockeying for the top seed<\/a> after finding their groove in December, thanks in part to a healthy Zion Williamson.<\/p>\n<p>The Grizzlies and Pelicans are tied for first place in the Southwest Division with a 23-13 record. The red-hot Mavs are closing in on them and now trail the division co-leaders by 2.5 games.<\/p>\n<p>The Grizzlies are -155 odds to claim back-to-back Southwest titles, according to DraftKings. The Pelicans are +165 odds to win the Southwest, and the Mavs saw their divisional odds bump to +600.<\/p>\n<p>The Mavs are currently +3000 odds to win the 2022-23 NBA championship.
