Dallas has now won nine of their last ten games and advanced to the knockout round of the NBA Cup, owning the point differential over the Phoenix Suns, thanks mostly to the large win over the Pelicans a few weeks ago. This team is playing its best basketball of the season and will carry that into the knockout stage next week.

The 2024 NBA Cup quarterfinals are set, and the Thunder will host the Dallas Mavericks in the first knockout round. Five spots in the eight-team bracket were clinched Tuesday as group play concluded, and the Knicks, Bucks, and Thunder were among the night's notable winners.

DALLAS — Luka Doncic had 37 points and 12 rebounds, Spencer Dinwiddie and P.J. Washington Jr. hit clutch 3-pointers in the final two minutes, and the Dallas Mavericks overcame a 15-point deficit to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 121-116 on Tuesday night and advance to the NBA Cup quarterfinals.
