NEW ORLEANS -- Now that the New Orleans Pelicans have taken care of the first item on their to-do list, there are two more items to check off Wednesday and Thursday nights.
The Pelicans (41-30) defeated the Dallas Mavericks 115-105 on Tuesday night in the first game of a rare back-to-back-to-back schedule of three homes games over three nights.
Next up Wednesday night are the Indiana Pacers (41-30), winners of seven of their last 10 games. The Pacers had Tuesday off after beating the Lakers 110-100 on Monday.
The Pelicans' victory over Dallas was secured by another monster game by Anthony Davis, who scored a game-high 37 points on 15-of-21 shooting.
