Despite the Mavs missing the NBA playoffs in 2023, they are in the Western Conference Finals for the second time in the previous three seasons.

The duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving has proven to be an excellent fit, and they also have talented role players such as Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington Jr.
