The season was suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11[1] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[2] The Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets played the final game before the suspension of the season, a 113–97 Mavericks win.[3]

The Mavericks were one of the 22 teams invited to the NBA Bubble, and resumed play on July 31 with a 153–149 loss against the Houston Rockets.[4] On August 2, after the Memphis Grizzlies lost against the San Antonio Spurs, the Mavericks clinched a spot in the 2020 NBA playoffs no worse than the seventh seed, marking their first trip to the playoffs since 2016.[5] The Mavericks entered the playoffs as the seventh seed, facing the second seed Los Angeles Clippers in the first round, losing in six games.[6]

The Mavericks averaged an offensive rating of 115.9 points scored per 100 possessions in the regular season, the highest in NBA history.[7]
