The 1986–87 NBA season was the Mavericks' 7th season in the NBA.[1]

After winning Game 1 in a high-scoring affair, the underdog Seattle SuperSonics took the next three games, ending the Mavericks season.

The season saw the team draft Roy Tarpley and Mark Price. However, Price would be traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers after refusing to report to Dallas.
