Mavericks 108, Pelicans 89
Riding high off a three-game road sweep, the Mavericks beat New Orleans as Pelicans All-Star Anthony Davis left the game with an injury.
Dallas guard Monta Ellis scored 23, forward Dirk Nowitzki added 18 for the Mavericks (36-23).
The injury-ravaged Pelicans (23-34) suffered their latest blow in the first half when Davis left the floor in the second quarter and did not return after spraining his left shoulder battling for an offensive board.
Pelicans guard Eric Gordon led the visitors with 19 points.
