The Dallas Mavericks (27-25) host the New Orleans Pelicans (26-26) on Thursday evening at home in the American Airlines Center. Dallas has had a two day rest after defeating the Pistons Monday evening. The Pelicans are on a remarkable NINE game skid after being at the top of the Western Conference. New Orleans is facing the additional annoyance of not getting into the Dallas area until this afternoon as the ice issues in the North Texas areas prevented the Pelicans from flying in yesterday. Here’s the main things to know before the game:
- WHO: Dallas Mavericks vs New Orleans Pelicans
- WHAT: Climbing the standings, we hope
- WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas Texas
- WHEN: 7:30 p.
