The New Orleans Pelicans will host the Dallas Mavericks for the second-straight game between the teams at 7 PM CT inside Smoothie King Center. New Orleans will have its NBA In-Season Tournament court floor painted and ready for the Mavs, who took Game 1 of this season’s series, 136-124.

Brandon Ingram scored a team-high 20 points, and All-Star forward Zion Williamson added 18 points in the loss at home. PG Dyson Daniels’ 17 points on 7 of 12 from the floor with three shots made from beyond the arc helped to fill the void left by CJ McCollum’s absence. The Pelicans’ floor leader has been sidelined with a partially collapsed lung since last week.

The NBA reported the status of Zion Williamson, Herb Jones, Larry Nance Jr, and Naji Marshall for tonight’s game against the Mavericks.
