Dallas Mavericks vs Detroit Pistons Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 11/01/25

The Dallas Mavericks and Detroit Pistons tangle at Arena CDMX in Mexico City at 10 p.m. ET on Peacock. The Mavs will be a bit shorthanded, too, as Anthony Davis is sidelined due to a strained left calf, while D’Angelo Russell is questionable due to a left knee contusion. It appears it will be the rookie Cooper Flagg show, as he tries to hold down the fort in Mexico City. It’s a pretty tall order for the rookie, and the Mavs could be really good if they were at full staff with AD and Kyrie Irving, who continues to recover from a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered last season.

For the Pistons, they’ll be without Jaden Ivey, as he continues to recover from knee surgery, while Marcus Sasser carries a questionable tag due to a hip impingement, but really, Detroit is in pretty decent shape. The Under is 3-2 in five games for the Pistons, allowing 116 or fewer points in each of the five outings. For the Mavs, they’ve cashed low in four of five games, going for 107 or fewer points in four outings. This game is played an elevation in Mexico City, which could also cause some issues. It’s actually much higher than even in Denver. And, the Mavs are shorthanded, and it’s hard to imagine where the offense will come from.

Under 225.5 (-110) at time of publishing. Playable to 223.5.
