The Pistons' next game is an unorthodox matchup with Mavericks in Mexico City, which will have major implications for the NBA's future. The Mavericks have the outlines of a futuristic team with #1 overall pick Cooper Flagg leading the way and a front line with size and skill. The setting of the game is also a potential harbinger of future NBA expansion internationally.
The Mavericks are one of the NBA's most interesting opponents
The Mavericks have already rolled out some interesting lineups this season, and will continue to do so with Anthony Davis' injury keeping him out for the next two games.
