The New Orleans Hornets take the court for the first time ever as division champions as they conclude the regular season on the road against the Dallas Mavericks.
The surprising Hornets (56-25) went from a non-playoff team last season to champions of one of the tightest division races in recent memory.
The Mavericks (50-31) had the best record in the NBA last season before their stunning first-round playoff exit, but 2007-08 has been more of an uphill climb.
When Dirk Nowitzki went down with a high ankle sprain on March 23, it looked like they would struggle to even make the playoffs. But it was Nowitzki's 3-pointer with less than a second left on Thursday that lifted Dallas over Utah 97-94 and clinched a postseason spot.
The Mavericks will be either the No. 7 or No. 8 seed in the West. If they lose to the Hornets, they'll open up the playoff against the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers. But if they win their home finale, they'll head to New Orleans to open the postseason this weekend.
Dallas has won 12 straight at home against New Orleans by an average of 13.0 points.
