Mavericks vs Pelicans: game summary and key moments
The Mavericks were missing their usual key players- Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, Dante Exum, and Dereck Lively. The Pelicans, on the other hand, were without Zion Williamson due to a hamstring injury.
However, they still had Cooper Flagg, D’Angelo Russell, and PJ Washington on the court. This made the loss to what is arguably the worst team in the league even more disappointing.

Cooper Flagg had an impressive 20 points. However, the shaky record seems to be getting to him. The mood overall in the Dallas locker room is low, but fans claim they saw the young guard leave the American Airlines Center looking down and didn’t sign any autographs.
Klay’s shooting woes continue as he made 11 points tonight. Daniel Gafford and PJ Washington had 15 points each, but D’Angelo Russell was disappointing too, with only 9 points.
On the other hand, New Orleans fans are seeing the team chemistry improve despite the absence of Zion Williamson and Jordan Poole. Sadiq Bey had 22 points, and Jose Alvarado and Jeremiah Fears had 13 points each.
The Pelicans will face a tougher match when they meet the Spurs on Saturday. The Mavs will attempt to secure a spot in the NBA Cup playoffs in a group stage game against the Grizzlies on Friday.
