Dallas Mavericks - Team News
Similar to the New Orleans Pelicans, the Dallas Mavericks will roll into this game with a healthy roster at their disposal. Rick Carlisle is seeing a welcoming uptake in his team's performance in their recent stretch. But he has a lot of ground to cover to make it back into playoff contention as they are still below the top eight teams in the West.
On a brighter note, Luka Doncic's recent form suggests he has the resolve to turn around their fortunes by the end of the season. Luka is averaging a near triple-double this campaign, registering 27.8 points, 9.3 assists, and 8.7 boards in twenty-five appearances thus far.
