DALLAS -- The good news for the struggling Dallas Mavericks is they are 22-3 at home all-time against the New Orleans Pelicans. The bad news is the Pelicans are finally playing better basketball and All-Star power forward Anthony Davis is playing at an MVP-level.If the Mavericks (2-13) are going to snap an eight-game losing skid, theyre going to have to find a way to slow down the 6-foot-11 Davis, who is averaging 33.0 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.2 blocks in leading the Pelicans (6-11) to a 4-1 record in their last five games.Dallas is in a skid the franchise hasnt seen since 1999 when Dirk Nowitzki was a wide-eyed rookie. Theyre coming off consecutive demoralizing losses to the Los Angeles Clippers, who led by 31 points in the third quarter, and to Cleveland Cavaliers, who were up by 40. Dallas was outscored by 57 points combined in the first halves of those two games.While the Mavericks have been bit hard by the injury bug to key veterans, the mounting losses are becoming tough to stomach.Its embarrassing, man, Dallas point guard Deron Williams said. Weve had some embarrassing losses. Were pissed off. But weve got to get pissed off and do something about it.At least the Mavs are getting healthier. Nowitzki is finally back after missing eight games with soreness in his Achilles tendon. Williams returned in Fridays loss at Cleveland after missing all but 10 minutes of the previous eight games. He logged 15 minutes against the Cavaliers and had four points and five assists.Were getting healthier gradually, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle told reporters following Fridays 128-90 loss at Cleveland. But we have too many things we have to fix. And weve got to fix them in a short period of time.The Pelicans had their four-game winning streak snapped Friday at Portland, but they come to Dallas still riding the momentum of a string of strong play for the first time since opening the season with seven consecutive losses.The spark came from the return of guard Jrue Holiday, who had left the team to care for his wife, Lauren Holiday, a former U.S. national soccer team member, following the birth of their child and surgery to remove a tumor in her brain. Holiday has averaged 16.2 points and 6.6 assists in five games, while also giving New Orleans such needed floor leadership.During the last five games, the Pelicans offense has come alive, ranking seventh in the league in offensive rating 110.3), while also getting the job done on the defensive end, ranking sixth in defensive rating (99.0).Any time you win or any time you have a winning streak, youre kind of in a groove and youre feeling good as a team, Holiday said, according to ESPN.com. It always feels great. Obviously, with where we are in the standings, in the Western Conference, it feels good just be included back in it. Cheap Jordan 11 Legend Blue For Sale .

The Catalan side scraped past Real Betis over the weekend to remain top of La Liga with two games to play but are level on points with Atletico Madrid with Real one point adrift.Manager Luis Enrique has come under a lot of criticism for his teams poor form that saw them blow a 10 point lead in the league and crash out of the Champions League. Speaking on the La Liga Weekly Podcast, Balague feels the squad is in need of freshening up if they are to maintain their dominance of Spain and Europe over the next few years. Its been a while since Barcelona produced their own players such as Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Carles Puyol. Terry Gibson The problems of Barcelona seem to be physical first of all but it goes beyond the physical, Balague said.Why doesnt he trust the people on the bench? Who bought those players? Are Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal his choices? Its something that could carry on to next season. Barcelona just feel its a team in need of fresh blood.

Could their be a summer clear out at the Nou Camp? However, Gibson insists Enrique may not even be around in the summer to undertake the revamp, especially if Barcelona bottle the chance to win La Liga and the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla.A month ago they were in the running for everything, Gibson said. They were big favourites to win the league, they were big favourites to win the Champions League and the Copa del Rey final is still to come.It will be interesting to see how he is judged. They could still win the Copa del Rey and will finish in the top three in La Liga and if they throw it away in those circumstances - but that is the pressure of being the Barcelona manager.
