Tonight, the Dallas Mavericks are going to have their hands full. The New Orleans Pelicans have their 2nd game with DeMarcus Cousins on the team, and even in their first, he was excellent. Now, the Mavs will be faced with trying to slow down Boogie and Anthony Davis.
That task is going to start with Dirk Nowitzki and Harrison Barnes. Dirk has never done well against the more athletic centers of the league and now he doesn’t even get a choice. Expect to see Nowitzki start on Boogie, but anything can happen.
