Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Full-Time Result – Handicap (-4) for Mavericks – 2.00.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 214.5 – 1.90.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Pelicans’ Points Over 106.5 – 1.75.
The New Orleans Pelicans have expanded their roster, adding Larry Nance Jr., Tony Snell, and C.J. McCollum, so they should be in the top 10 in the West.
The Dallas Mavericks have been looking good lately and have been generally consistent. Jason Kidd’s men are approaching their encounter with the Pelicans in a good mood, having won their last game.
We assume that the home team will take the lead because they need to make things right. The Mavericks’ play is focused on attack, so we expect a high-scoring encounter.
The Pelicans have scored more than 106.5 points in four of their last five games.
The New Orleans Pelicans are trying to change things for the better, but so far they have not been very successful. The team already was in the top ten of the West, but the Portland Trail Blazers started to win and the Pelicans are now just outside the play-off zone.

In their last meeting, the New Orleans Pelicans were unable to produce a satisfying performance, and even the home support didn’t help. Stan Van Gundy’s team lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, though the result was widely expected (109-121). Now the Pelicans have to start all over again.
Dallas Mavericks:
The Pelicans continue to rank fifth in the Western Conference, which is not a bad result. Jason Kidd’s men recently traded one of their leaders, Kristaps Porzingis, to Washington, so now everything has fallen on Luka Doncic’s shoulders.

Recall that the Dallas Mavericks handled the Miami Heat (107-99) with confidence in their last encounter and are ready to progress further. The Mavericks can hardly catch up with the Utah Jazz anytime soon, but the most important thing is not to let the Denver Nuggets get ahead of themselves. The club has a tough road trip to New Orleans ahead.
