Despite having a shot at making the play-in tournament and the playoffs, the Mavericks have decided to tank their season by resting Kyrie, Hardaway, Wood and other regulars in their game later vs. the Bulls. Luka will play, but will rest after Q1. Based on reports, DAL is currently tied with CHI for the 10th lottery spot. The Mavs have a top-10 protected pick owed to the Knicks. Keeping this pick has now become the priority for DAL over any postseason run this year.
