The Dallas Mavericks clinched their first NBA playoff berth since 2015-16 when the Memphis Grizzlies lost 108-106 to the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.

Dallas currently sits seventh in the Western Conference. The Mavericks entered the restart with the best single-season offensive rating in NBA history, though it dropped slightly following Friday's overtime loss to the Houston Rockets.

The Mavericks are 0-2 in the Disney World bubble after dropping another close game Sunday, losing 117-115 to the Phoenix Suns, despite 40 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds from Luka Doncic.
