Two things jump out to me.
The brutal six game road trip in the middle of March that ends with a back-to-back at home. That effectively makes it a 7 game road trip in 11 days. Fortunately, it's only in two time zones and ends with some pretty bad teams.
March is a pretty tough month, but there is a good chance that Dallas has the #1 seed wrapped up and a few of those games won't matter. Those two things combined make me think 70 wins(26-3) is a pipe dream. If the Mavs clinch the top spot early Avery would definitely choose to rest the stars down the stretch rather than try to reach the milestone.
