The Dallas Mavericks picked up a big 116-105 win over the Houston Rockets on Saturday, as they returned home for the first time since making the Luka Doncic trade with the Los Angeles Lakers. This also brought the debut of Anthony Davis, who played for the first time since missing the last few games with an abdominal strain.

The Mavericks enter a new era after the trade deadline, with Anthony Davis serving as the franchise cornerstone. While the trade to send superstar Luka Doncic to the Lakers has been finalized since last weekend, the Mavs have been awaiting their new power forward's debut.
