New Orleans Pelicans vs Dallas Mavericks: Key matchups

Brandon Ingram vs. Luka Doncic

While this matchup is in doubt because of Doncic’s questionable status, it would be an intriguing contest if he does suit up. Ingram averages 23.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.4 assists on 47.0% shooting. Doncic, meanwhile, averages 28.2 ppg, 7.8 rpg and 7.8 apg.

Both players are crucial to their team’s success, but Ingram has more responsibilities because of New Orleans' numerous injury concerns.

Kyrie Irving vs. rest of the Pelicans

If he does play, Doncic will be responsible for carrying Dallas’ offensive burden. If the Pelicans were healthy, they would have enough players to match up against Kyrie Irving. However, with that not being the case, Irving won’t need to worry about matchups and just play the brand of basketball he is known for.
