The Detroit Pistons will host the Dallas Mavericks on Friday evening in a cross-conference NBA matchup. Detroit is 23-24 overall and 10-11 at home, while Dallas is 26-22 overall and 12-12 on the road.

The Dallas Mavericks look to cover their single-point spread against the Detroit Pistons as they look to keep the wins coming in tonight's pick and predictions.

"Despite sending a 2024 first to New York as part of the Kristaps Porzingis trade, Dallas is allowed to trade or swap its 2025 first. The Mavericks can also trade a 2031 first. One thing to watch is the Mavericks taking back more salary if a trade were to occur. Dallas is $526,000 below the first apron and is not allowed to exceed it."

Nico Harrison and the Mavs reach the trade deadline in a much different position than in 2024, with Luka Doncic and several players out because of injuries.

Taking a look at three moves the Dallas Mavericks must make as the 2025 NBA Trade deadline quickly approaches.
