Dallas Mavericks vs. Real Madrid preview: Prediction, odds and more for 2023-24 NBA preseason

The Dallas Mavericks will face a different challenge as they face off against Real Madrid on October 10. The contest will be Dallas' third game of their preseason schedule after the Western Conference roster played two games against the Minnesota Timberwolves in Abu Dhabi.

Madrid is one of the best teams in Europe. Dallas will need to be at their best if they want to overcome a roster that has multiple NBA-level talents and plays a different style of basketball to what NBA teams are used to facing. Nevertheless, Dallas will have the two best players on the court in Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, assuming they both suit up to play.

Mario Hezonja and Facundo Campazzo will bring energy and scoring to the Madrid rotation and ensure some NBA experience within the roster. Guerschon Yabusele also enters the game, having spent some time in the NBA, playing for the Boston Celtics between 2017 and 2019.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Real Madrid: Prediction

The Dallas Mavericks should be heavy favorites for their game against Real Madrid. NBA teams tend to be more athletic and multi-skilled, while they also boast some of the best talent in the world. Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic will be prominent threats if they play.

Furthermore, Grant Williams, Seth Curry, and Tim Hardaway Jr. will provide a big threat from the perimeter, which may stretch Real Madrid's defense to its limit, especially if Josh Green and Richaun Holmes are consistently pressuring the rim.

Dante Exum and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will both provide the Mavericks with some European experience, which could be a difference-maker throughout the contest.
