MFFLs can watch a Mavericks-specific stream on the team’s Twitch channel if they are interested. There are several other online options offering analysis of the selections on Thursday night.

Adrian Wojnarowski reported the first three picks on Thursday morning with Jabari Smith joining former Mavericks assistant coach Jamahl Mosley in Orlando, Chet Holmgren going to Oklahoma City, and the Rockets taking Paolo Banchero.

There will be plenty of intrigue at pick four, though. The Kings are rumored to be shopping the selection with Jaden Ivey the favorite to be taken. Where does Ivey end up?

What the New York Knicks do on draft night is something MFFLs should watch closely. They are rumored to be trying to create cap space to pursue Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson in free agency. Thursday is the perfect day to pull off those trades, but can they clear over $20 million in room? It is something to keep an eye on.

Dallas Mavericks fans should be sure to tune in and enjoy the 2022 NBA Draft on Thursday night. Expect plenty of surprises in what will be a memorable occasion.
