The possibility of the Dallas Mavericks sinking all the way down to the 14th seed in the Western Conference is continually increasing.

Coach Jason Kidd and Co. have only managed to win two of their last 10 games. If they continue this decline, the Cooper Flagg-led team would likely usurp the Utah Jazz for the second-worst record.
