“When looking at the most important opponent, I instantly look at the teams that Dallas might be fighting for playoff position with and who they play the most. Although Memphis could be an option, I’m going the cliche route with the Houston Rockets. Houston looks to be right in the mix for one of the last seeds out West and are in the same division as Dallas. The season series with the Rockets will be crucial this coming season.”
