Following a tough loss to the Nuggets last night, the Pelicans have to find a way to shake off that bad memory quickly because the Mavericks are on tap later today.
Dallas owns the all-time regular season series against New Orleans, boasting a record of 46-22. More importantly, they’ve won five straight dating back to the start of last season; however, there’s a chance the Pelicans could catch a break to help reverse that trend.
Luka Doncic missed Friday’s contest against the Pacers due to lower back tightness. Not surprisingly, the Mavericks lost 109-94 despite Kristaps Porzingis dropping a line of 31 points, 18 rebounds, three assists and three triples.
