#2 DeAndre Jordan's struggles

DeAndre Jordan has been in excellent form recently and has looked to be one of the best free agent signings of the offseason, bar the obvious big names like LeBron James. The Dallas centre faced a huge struggle against one of the best big men in the league, Davis, and the energetic Randle in the loss against the Pelicans.

Jordan was on the court for 24 minutes and only managed to put up two shots for the entire game, only making one. His 2 points and 8 rebounds were massively down from his season averages of 11 points and 13 boards a game as he struggled to find his way into the game, like many of the Dallas players.

Not only did the 30-year-old centre struggle to make an impact on offence, but Jordan also could do nothing to stop the Pelican bigs from putting on a show as they amassed 54 points combined.

This was definitely Jordan's worst game of the season and he will look to be better next time out.
