The NBA is going back to Mexico City next season, with the Dallas Mavericks and Detroit Pistons set to play a regular-season game there on Nov. 1.

The Dallas Mavericks jumped up in the Draft Lottery for the first time in franchise history, and they jumped all the way up from 11th to 1st. If there was ever any year to get lucky like that, it's this year, with Duke star Cooper Flagg available as the consensus top prospect in the draft.

The Dallas Mavericks and Detroit Pistons will play a regular-season game in Mexico. The NBA announced the game on Tuesday. It will take place on Nov. 1 at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City and coincide with the Dia de Muertos celebration in Mexico.

On paper, the Knicks appear closer to championship contention. But Dallas has something New York doesn’t: Cooper Flagg. While the Knicks won’t make a selection until the late second round, the Mavericks are adding a player who hasn’t drawn this much hype since Zion Williamson.

The Dallas Mavericks have a dire need of a point guard this offseason as Kyrie Irving rehabs from his torn ACL. Brandon Williams and Jaden Hardy are the only other guard on the roster, so unless they want to run Naji Marshall as the lead guard more, they'll have to go out and get somebody.
