Seattle is fighting for playoff seeding and has the edge in depth, defense, and experience. Dallas, despite a tough season, remains dangerous—especially if Bueckers catches fire again. Expect a fast-paced game with plenty of scoring, but Seattle’s ball movement and perimeter defense should carry them through.
