Mavericks vs. Pistons Tip Off in Mexico City Tonight as NBA Returns to Arena CDMX

Dallas must adjust with Anthony Davis ruled out for at least two games.

Overview

  • The NBA Mexico City Game 2025 is sold out at Arena CDMX, with tipoff set for Saturday at 10 p.m. ET in the league’s 34th game in Mexico and 15th regular-season contest there.
  • U.S. viewers can stream the neutral-site matchup exclusively on Peacock, which holds the rights for this game.
  • Dallas will be without Anthony Davis due to a low-grade left calf strain, with Dereck Lively II out and Daniel Gafford listed as questionable, increasing frontcourt roles for Dwight Powell and P.J. Washington.
  • Detroit enters 3-2 behind Cade Cunningham’s strong start, while Dallas sits 2-3 with rookie No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg drawing spotlight after a productive first five games.
  • Both teams rank top 10 in defensive efficiency, and coaches flagged Mexico City’s 7,349-foot altitude as a conditioning factor that could shape execution.
