As for the Mavs, they are 0-2 in the preseason and will play their final exhibition game on Friday against the Detroit Pistons.   

Their first game of the regular season will be on October 25 against the San Antonio Spurs (on the road).  

Last year, the Mavs were the 11th seed in the Western Conference, so they missed the NBA playoffs after making the Conference Finals in 2022. 

That said, they have one of the best duos in the NBA with Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic.
