The Dallas Mavericks are 12-10 SU (12-10 ATS) on the road. They have a 10-12 O/U away record. The Mavs are 7-3 SU (6-4 ATS) in their last ten games. Against its division rivals, Dallas is 5-1 SU (5-1 ATS).

The Pelicans offense is averaging 115.6 points per game (ranking 5th in the league), but also their defense is allowing 115.1 points per game which is sixth-worst in the NBA. The Pelicans are 5-1 ATS in the previous six games. Lonzo Ball is questionable for tonight’s matchup, as well as newcomers Wes Iwundu and James Johnson.

The Dallas Mavericks vs. New Orleans Pelicans head-to-head is 6-4 SU (6-4 ATS) in the previous ten meetings. In those games, the O/U record is 7-3, and I expect another shootout, so take the total OVER in this Southwest encounter.
