The Dallas Mavericks got their 2019-2020 season kicked off right on Oct. 23. They defeated the Washington Wizards in what was the first game for both teams. The Mavs got off to a bit of a slow start, but quickly corrected the ship in the second quarter and cruised to a 108-100 victory. Luka Doncic led the way for Dallas which came as no shock.
There were plenty of surprises in the first game, though. Courtney Lee was the fifth starter for the Mavericks. The veteran was an afterthought in the rotation in the minds of most fans this summer.
