The Dallas Mavericks (15-17), in the midst of their second six game losing streak of the season, are back home after a long road trip to play host to the New Orleans Pelicans (15-19). December hasn’t been kind to the Mavericks, and now we all push past our holiday haze for a unique double home-and-home (next against the Oklahoma City Thunder to close out 2018), with hopes of snapping a nasty streak.
The Mavs faced the Pels earlier in the month, getting throttled 132-106 in New Orleans — a night where Anthony Davis and Julius Randle each went for 27 points.
