Behind the Numbers presented by Entergy: Pelicans at Mavericks (1/11/21)

A look at three key numbers related to Monday’s game at American Airlines Center between New Orleans and Dallas (7:30 p.m. Central, Fox Sports New Orleans, NBA TV, 100.3 FM):

1, 2, 1: New Orleans rank among the 30 NBA teams in total rebounding percentage, offensive rebounding percentage and defensive rebounding percentage, respectively. Dallas places 18th, 27th and 10th in those categories, making that perhaps the Pelicans’ biggest statistical advantage entering the first of three head-to-head matchups with the Mavericks this season. Steven Adams (8.9 rebounds per game), Josh Hart (8.4) and Zion Williamson (8.1) are in a close race for New Orleans leading rebounder, with Williamson and Adams combining for nearly seven offensive boards per game (Hart is the club’s top defensive rebounder).
