Dallas Mavericks 2025–26 Playoff Outlook

The Dallas Mavericks concluded the 2025–26 NBA season with a final record of 26 wins and 56 losses, having played all 82 scheduled games. This places them at the #12 rank in the Western Conference. Given the playoff format where the top 6 teams qualify directly and seeds 7-10 enter the Play-In Tournament, the Mavericks' #12 ranking positions them outside of both qualification scenarios.

For the 2025–26 season, the Dallas Mavericks hold a 0% probability of securing a top-6 seed for direct playoff qualification. Furthermore, their probability of entering the Play-In Tournament (seeds 7-10) is also 0%. These figures confirm that the Mavericks will not advance to the postseason or the Play-In Tournament this season.
