Mavericks vs. Kings on Monday: Sacramento Comes to American Airlines Center for a 7 P.M. Tip
Dallas's next home date is Monday night against Sacramento — the first of three Mavericks games in five days, two of them at the American Airlines Center.
The Mavericks' Halloween weekend is a working weekend without a game — and then the schedule compresses. Dallas hosts the Sacramento Kings on Monday, November 2, at 7 p.m. CST at American Airlines Center, opening a three-games-in-five-days stretch that continues Wednesday at San Antonio and Friday back home against Utah.
Dallas carries Friday's result into the week: a 116-111 home win over the Houston Rockets in the NBA Cup group-play opener, a game that put the Mavericks at the top of their Cup group in the season's first statement win at the AAC. Monday's game is a regular-season date, not a Cup game — the Cup standings file the desk published Saturday morning is the context, and Sacramento is the next test of whether Friday's form holds outside the tournament frame.
For fans, the practical file is simple: Monday, 7 p.m., downtown, against a Pacific Division visitor — and an Election Day eve crowd in the building the night before Dallas–Fort Worth votes. Tip is at 7; the week's other home date, Utah on Friday, is also at 7.
