Saturday’s matchup is going to be a lot more daunting than originally expected.
The New Orleans Pelicans, who arrived in Dallas late last night after losing a hard fought contest to the Brooklyn Nets on their home floor, will face the Mavericks this evening more short-handed than they were 24 hours ago.
The Pelicans haven’t fared all that well on second nights of back-to-backs (2-3) and have really struggled to register wins on the road for much of the season, but the latest New Orleans injury report has put an even larger dampener on the Dallas matchup.
