The New Orleans Pelicans (12-13) will get their first opportunity to see Luka Doncic up close and personal along with the high-flying Dallas Mavericks (12-10) tonight inside the Smoothie King Center at 7:00 p.m.
The Mavericks began the season a dismal 2-7, but they’ve gone 10-3 since and currently sit inside the playoff picture. With wins over the Thunder, Warriors, Celtics, Clippers, and last night, the Trail Blazers, Dallas certainly seems for real; however, it’s impossible to overlook they suffer from the same malady as the New Orleans — they’re terrible on the road, posting a 2-8 away record.
