This season will mark Anthony Davis\u2019s first full year in a Mavs uniform, the NBA debut of Cooper Flagg, and the much-anticipated midseason return of Kyrie Irving from his ACL injury.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Dallas is aiming for 45\u201350 wins and a top-6 seed in the Western Conference. My prediction: 47\u201335. To hit that mark, the Mavericks must stay healthy, build chemistry quickly, and navigate one of the toughest conferences in years.<\/p>\n<p>Marquee Games to Watch<\/p>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>\n<p>Opening Night \u2013 vs. San Antonio Spurs (Oct. 22)<\/p>\n<p>The season tips off in primetime as rookie Cooper Flagg makes his NBA debut against Victor Wembanyama. It\u2019s a frontcourt battle between two young stars that could define the league\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>NBA Cup Group Stage (Nov. 7\u201328)<\/p>\n<p>Dallas is in West Group B with the Grizzlies, Clippers, Pelicans, and Lakers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 @ Memphis \u2013 Nov. 7<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 vs. LA Clippers \u2013 Nov. 14<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 vs. New Orleans Pelicans \u2013 Nov. 21<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 @ Los Angeles Lakers \u2013 Nov. 28 \u2014 A massive night with NBA Cup stakes as Anthony Davis returns to LA for the first time since the blockbuster trade, Luka Don\u010di\u0107 faces Cooper Flagg in Dallas for the first time this season, and LeBron James takes the court against his former teammate.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Christmas Day \u2013 vs. Golden State Warriors<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson visit Dallas for a holiday showdown. Expect high-octane offense and national attention on how Flagg handles the big stage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>MLK Day \u2013 vs. New York Knicks<\/p>\n<p>This could be Kyrie Irving\u2019s return game, facing former Mav Jalen Brunson. The guard battle alone makes this must-watch TV.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Season Outlook<\/p>\n<p>With a healthy Davis, a fast-adapting Flagg, and Kyrie returning to form, Dallas can realistically finish in the 47\u201350 win range and avoid the Play-In Tournament. But in a loaded West, every marquee game\u2014especially NBA Cup and holiday matchups\u2014will carry playoff-level importance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas Mavericks unveil 2025\u201326 schedule: Key matchups, NBA Cup, and season outlook originally appeared on The Sporting News&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":146763,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,6272,7197,2494,1596,3139,3140,24114,3364,11018,8604,3363,3122,23883,86748,3138,3366,358,11019,14863,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,4714,7184],"class_list":{"0":"post-146762","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-anthony-davis","10":"tag-clippers","11":"tag-cooper-flagg","12":"tag-dallas","13":"tag-dallas-mavericks","14":"tag-golden-state-warriors","15":"tag-jalen-brunson","16":"tag-klay-thompson","17":"tag-kyrie-irving","18":"tag-lakers","19":"tag-lebron-james","20":"tag-new-york-knicks","21":"tag-pelicans","22":"tag-regular-season-schedule","23":"tag-san-antonio-spurs","24":"tag-stephen-curry","25":"tag-texas","26":"tag-the-mavericks","27":"tag-the-nba","28":"tag-tx","29":"tag-united-states","30":"tag-united-states-of-america","31":"tag-unitedstates","32":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","33":"tag-us","34":"tag-usa","35":"tag-victor-wembanyama","36":"tag-western-conference"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115030638469352808","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
