Both teams sit at <b>0-2<\/b> in group play. The <b>Pelicans<\/b> stunned <b>Dallas<\/b> back on <b>Nov. 5<\/b> with a <b>101-99<\/b> win. Now they&#8217;re hunting for a second straight victory on the road.<\/p>\n<div style='background-color: #f8f9fa;border-left: 4px solid #e74c3c;padding: 15px;margin: 20px 0'>\n<p style='margin: 0;font-weight: 600'>\ud83d\udd25 Quick Facts:<\/p>\n<ul style='margin: 10px 0 0 0;padding-left: 20px'>\n<li><b>Saddiq Bey<\/b> had <b>22 points<\/b> and <b>9 rebounds<\/b> in the first matchup.<\/li>\n<li>Both teams are <b>0-2<\/b> in the <b>NBA Cup West Group B<\/b> standings.<\/li>\n<li>The <b>Mavericks<\/b> are <b>4-12<\/b> overall; <b>Pelicans<\/b> sit at <b>2-13<\/b>.<\/li>\n<li><b>Dallas<\/b> is favored at <b>-175<\/b> moneyline odds.<\/li>\n<li><b>Zion Williamson<\/b> cleared for contact and returned <b>Nov. 19<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Lightning Strikes in Dallas<\/h2>\n<p>The <b>Pelicans<\/b> pulled off something magical in their last visit to the <b>American Airlines Center<\/b>. <b>Saddiq Bey<\/b> led the charge with season-high numbers. His <b>22 points<\/b> and <b>9 rebounds<\/b> proved decisive in the <b>101-99<\/b> thriller. <b>Derik Queen<\/b> chipped in <b>11 points<\/b> and <b>7 rebounds<\/b> off the bench.<\/p>\n<p>That close finish showed <b>New Orleans<\/b> has what it takes to win tough road games. But repeating against a team hungry for answers is never easy. The <b>Mavericks<\/b> will want revenge. Still, the <b>Pelicans<\/b> have momentum from that impressive performance.<\/p>\n<p>Getting within <b>2 points<\/b> of <b>Dallas<\/b> is no small feat on the road. The first matchup proved the gap between these teams isn&#8217;t as wide as records suggest.<\/p>\n<h2>Both Teams Fighting Desperation Mode<\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the situation: both squads are struggling hard. The <b>Mavericks<\/b> sit just ahead in records at <b>4-12<\/b> overall. The <b>Pelicans<\/b> are battling at <b>2-13<\/b>. But here&#8217;s what matters most\u2014they&#8217;re tied at <b>0-2<\/b> in group play.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>NBA Cup<\/b> standings show zero room for error. <b>Los Angeles Lakers<\/b> and <b>LA Clippers<\/b> are dominating at <b>2-0<\/b> in <b>Group B<\/b>. <b>Memphis Grizzlies<\/b> sit at <b>1-1<\/b>. For <b>Dallas<\/b> and <b>New Orleans<\/b>, this game is basically a must-win for playoff tournament hopes.<\/p>\n<p>Losing again puts teams in serious jeopardy. The <b>Pelicans<\/b> need to prove the first win wasn&#8217;t a fluke. Winners move forward. Losers face even tougher matchups ahead.<\/p>\n<h2>Stats That Tell the Story<\/h2>\n<p>Head-to-head records favor <b>Dallas<\/b> heavily in recent seasons. The all-time series shows the <b>Mavericks<\/b> leading <b>57-30<\/b> against <b>New Orleans<\/b>. But that doesn&#8217;t matter much in tight contests like the Nov. 5 game proved.<\/p>\n<table style='width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;margin: 15px 0;font-size: 0.9em'>\n<thead>\n<tr style='background-color: #f0f0f0'>\n<th style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: left'><b>Matchup<\/b><\/th>\n<th style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>Pelicans<\/b><\/th>\n<th style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>Mavericks<\/b><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'><b>Overall Record<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>2-13<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>4-12<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'><b>Group B Record<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>0-2<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>0-2<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'><b>All-Time H2H<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>30 wins<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>57 wins<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'><b>Last Meeting (11\/5)<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>Won 101-99<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>Lost 99-101<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px'><b>Moneyline Odds<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>+145<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 10px;text-align: center'><b>-175<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Betting markets favor <b>Dallas<\/b> entering this rematch.
