As the Dallas Mavericks prepare to welcome the New Orleans Pelicans to the American Airlines Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent high-scoring trend. The Mavericks have been on a rollercoaster ride in their last few games, with an impressive offensive display against the San Antonio Spurs where they put up 144 points and dominated with a 41-point lead at one point. Their efficiency game score of 123.4 and an offensive rating of nearly 130 indicate that when they're hot, they're scorching.

With these recent performances in mind, fans can anticipate another thrilling home game as Dallas aims to harness their scoring prowess while tightening up defensively. The American Airlines Center has witnessed some electrifying basketball from its home team this season; it's poised for another showcase as these two Western Conference contenders lock horns.
