Power Ranking the Mavs

A look at where the Mavs stack up in leading sports websites NBA power rankings after this past week.


ESPN.com 9.
"The good news: Dallas certainly played its part in helping the West establish a new record with seven teams reaching the All-Star break at least 15 games over .500 for the first time in league history. The bad news: Dallas has one of the tougher remaining schedules and its own fair share of injuries."

ESPN.com Hollinger Power Rankings: 7.

NBA.com: 5.
"The Mavs came out flat in Oklahoma City on Thursday, but got production from their bench in weekend wins over Houston and Charlotte. On Friday, three reserves scored in double-figures. On Sunday, Richard Jefferson had a double-double (and a great offensive foul) starting for Chandler Parsons and Amar'e Stoudemire scored 14 points in 11 minutes."

Yahoo Sports: 8.
"The arrival of big man Amar’e Stoudemire is now even more vital with forward Chandler Parsons sidelined because of a left ankle injury."

CBS Sports: 11.
"They may finish with a worse record after the Rondo trade, but they are much more equipped to make a postseason run."

SI.com: 9.
"Tyson Chandler and Amar’e Stoudemire failed as headliners in New York, but they could be the perfect complementary contributors in Dallas. Stoudemire shined in his Mavs debut, scoring 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting and adding three rebounds in just 11 minutes."

SB Nation: 6.
"I wasn't sure if Richard Jefferson could play 33 minutes in a Mavericks victory, but those things occurred on Sunday. Nothing could have prepared Michael Kidd-Gilchrist -- or anyone really -- for what happened next:"

"They picked up a quality win over the Rockets this past weekend, but just a couple nights before the Thunder ran the Mavs out of the building. Amar’e Stoudemire looked good and bouncy in his debut, if he can keep that up it will be a nice pick up."
