Many thought the eight game losing streak that started the New Orleans Pelicans’ season would not be matched by any other Southwest team this year.
However, the Pels’ opponent will come into tonight’s game with an eight game losing streak of their own.
New Orleans will battle the Dallas Mavericks, who come in with a measly 2-13 record and losers of eight straight. Unfortunately for the Pelicans, Dallas is just starting to get healthy once again.
Injuries to Dirk Nowitzki, Andrew Bogut and Deron Williams have plagued the team over the first 15 games. All have returned to the lineup.
