NBA power rankings: Week 6
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
Previous Deseret News rank: 18
NBA.com rank: 19
DeseretNews.com Fan Power Poll Rank: 16
Record: 10-10
Streak: Won 2
Dallas is treading water until Dirk Nowitski returns, and they're nearly there too. Winners of three of their last four, they spoiled Kevin McHale's return to Houston's lineup in a Lone Star State duel. Good thing they have O.J. Mayo.
If they can get Dirk back at near-to-full strength by the 20th, this team could start bubbling up to the top again. They play Miami, Memphis, San Antonio and Oklahoma City all in one week. That's when we'll find out if this team has any shot of contending again.
