If the Dallas Mavericks are going to get a win tonight over Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans, it is going to take a team effort all working together for a common goal. This team is very capable of that and has proven that they are multiple times recently. So what do they need to do to show it again tonight?
There are two things that would be extremely helpful to the Mavs chances tonight.
Prevent Second Chance Points
With a guy like Anthony Davis, offensive rebounds can turn quickly into second chance points and the Mavs, despite a reasonable showing on the defensive glass, have been prone to allowing some teams to kill them on the offensive glass.
