In December, the first time the Nets faced the Mavericks, they were more combative, but on Monday they faced them again in Dallas, and the game had a clear dominant force, as the Mavs defeated them 113-105 in a game that saw only one lead change.
Brooklyn, trailed by 14 points at halftime in their last game, narrowed the gap to as few as 4 with five minutes remaining but couldn't get any closer. Even in the loss, Day'Ron Sharpe had a night off the bench with 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Porter Jr. added 28. Even so, the defeat marks the Nets' fourth consecutive loss without scoring more than 105 points in any of those games. At least they have a chance to win on Wednesday when they face the Pelicans, who are last in the Western Conference.
New Orleans had three losing streaks this season with six or more consecutive losses; The last stretch stretched over nine games, from December 26th until January 9th, when they finally defeated the Wizards. After that, they fell 128-118 to the Magic at the Kia Center on Sunday, and then on Tuesday at the Smoothie King Center, they couldn't overcome a Nuggets team missing key players, losing for the 32nd time this season, 116-122.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
These teams already met on December 6th in Brooklyn; it was a game in which the Nets were favored by 3.5 points in the pregame betting and more than lived up to expectations, winning 119-101.
Williamson didn't play that time, but he will play on Wednesday, while Jose Alvarado is a confirmed absence for New Orleans. The Nets have an extra day of rest; they could capitalize on this on Wednesday at the Smoothie King Center.
Our prediction for Pelicans vs Nets is: Nets ML.
