The Dallas Mavericks will have a different look when the season kicks off with some new faces -- among them Chandler Parsons, Raymond Felton and Tyson Chandler, who is back for a second go-around -- and renewed excitement.

With that in mind, here is a look at 10 games worth circling on the Mavericks' 2014-15 schedule, which was released Wednesday August 13th:

Mavs at San Antonio Spurs, Oct. 28: The Spurs will get their championship rings in front of the only team to push them to seven games in last season’s playoffs. The Mavs revived the Interstate 35 rivalry with a respectable showing in that series and will unveil their remodeled roster in the season opener in San Antonio.

Utah Jazz at Mavs, Oct. 30: The NBA didn’t exactly deliver a sexy opponent for the Mavs’ home opener, but there should still be a buzz in the building. This will be the first time Parsons wears a Mavs uniform at American Airlines Center in a game that really matters. Chandler, the 2011 title hero who returned to Dallas via an offseason trade, might get an even louder ovation than Dirk Nowitzki during pregame introductions.

Miami Heat at Mavs, Nov. 9: LeBron James might be gone, but Dallas’ hard feelings against the Heat will be strong as long as 2006 Finals MVP Dwyane Wade is on the Miami roster.

Mavs at Houston Rockets, Nov. 22: The Interstate 45 rivalry has the potential to be a great one with Parsons leaving Houston for Dallas and all the verbal back-and-forths that ensued. This will be the first regular-season meeting between the teams. It will be especially interesting to hear how the Houston crowd treats Parsons, a second-round, six-figure bargain the past few seasons who cashed in as a restricted costless agent.

New York Knicks at Mavs, Nov. 26: Chandler and Felton reportedly did not depart New York on the best terms when they were dealt to Dallas in a six-player trade this summer. This will be the first time they see their former teammates. The Mavs have nothing but fond memories of point guard Jose Calderon, the key player Dallas gave up in the deal.

Mavs at Cleveland Cavaliers, Jan. 4: The Mavs’ annual trip to Cleveland is a major event now that LeBron James has returned to his hometown. This also might be a chance for the Mavs to see Shawn Marion, a key piece on the 2011 title team and consummate pro during his five-season tenure in Dallas. The Cavs come to Dallas on March 10.

Mavs at Los Angeles Clippers, Jan. 10: This Saturday matinee is the middle of a stretch of six road dates in seven games, including a pair of back-to-backs. The Clippers are one of the few teams in the West widely considered a strong bet to finish above the Mavs in the standings.

Mavs at Oklahoma City Thunder, Feb. 19: The Mavs will not get to ease back into the schedule after their eight-day All-Star break. They will make the short trip across the Red River to face reigning MVP Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the Thunder.

Golden State Warriors at Mavs, April 4: All of the Mavs’ April home games could have playoff feels. This matchup is in the middle of a three-game homestand between games against the Rockets and Phoenix Suns. It would be no surprise if Steph Curry's Warriors and the Mavs were fighting for the fourth seed and home-court advantage in the first round.

Portland Trail Blazers at Mavs, April 15: LaMarcus Aldridge's Blazers, who ended a long playoff series win drought last season, could also be competing for home-court advantage in the first round. As competitive as the West is, it would be stunning if something is not at stake in the regular-season finale.
