The Mavericks thrive at home with a 14-3 record but struggle on the road where they are an anemic 2-14.

Wes Matthews (foot injury) and will not suit up Friday against the Pelicans. Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist sprain) has missed nine of the last ten games and will remain out for an undetermined period.
New Orleans Pelicans
Anthony Davis led his team in the loss to Dallas with 32 points, 18 rebounds, and 2 assists. With each loss, the Pelicans suffer it provides additional fodder for the pundits who believe Davis will bolt in free agency.
To date, Davis is taking the high road stating his desire is to win in New Orleans and says if the team is losing it falls on him. The truth is Davis needs more help as the Pels arrive at this match having lost five in a row and seeded 14th in the West.
While all the banter is about Davis leaving New Orleans it seems no one has considered how much it might behoove the team to land among the worst teams in order to land one of Zion Williamson or R.J. Barrett in the draft.
Hey, if you can’t add talent via free agency then do it organically. If rumors of Zion being the next LeBron are true why leave to playing with the 34 year old version when you could play beside the youthful version?

Elfrid Payton (fractured left pinky finger) will be sidelined until early January.
