Mavericks announce 2018-19 regular season schedule
The Dallas Mavericks released their 2018-19 regular season schedule Friday afternoon. Their 82-game journey begins on the road against the Phoenix Suns on October 17. That game will be broadcast on ESPN. In fact, the Mavs will play a few games in front of a national audience this season.
Dallas will appear on ESPN twice, against the aforementioned Suns and also against the Atlanta Hawks on October 24. Seeing Luka Doncic face his fellow top-five draft pick peers in DeAndre Ayton and Trae Young, especially after the two were swapped on draft night, will be appealing to some. However, ESPN is likely prepared to take a ratings hit both nights.
