On Tuesday evening, the Dallas Mavericks will host the New Orleans Pelicans in Texas.

For the game, the Mavs could be without their best player, as Luka Doncic is on the injury report.

The superstar forward also missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

Dončič was on the court at Tuesday’s shootaround at the American Airlines Center."
