Dallas @ New Orleans

Current Records: Dallas 1-1; New Orleans 2-1

What to Know

The New Orleans Pelicans and the Dallas Mavericks will face off in a Southwest Division clash at 7:30 p.m. ET Oct. 25 at Smoothie King Center. New Orleans knows how to get points on the board — the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past three matchups — so hopefully Dallas likes a good challenge.

The Pelicans fought the good fight in their overtime contest against the Utah Jazz on Sunday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 122-121. New Orleans didn’t live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the 8.5-point advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game. Despite the loss, they got a solid performance out of shooting guard CJ McCollum, who posted a double-double on 28 points and 12 dimes.

Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Dallas at home against the Memphis Grizzlies this past Saturday as the squad secured a 137-96 win. With Dallas ahead 64-36 at the half, the matchup was all but over already. Among those leading the charge for them was point guard Luka Doncic, who dropped a double-double on 32 points and ten assists in addition to seven boards.

Dallas’ victory lifted them to 1-1 while New Orleans’ defeat dropped them down to 2-1. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the Pelicans and the Mavericks will really light up the scoreboard Tuesday.
