The reigning Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks started the 2024-2025 season with a 7-7 record but will be favored to beat the Pelicans at American Airlines Center on Tuesday by 10.5 points at betting sites. This is in part because the Pelicans have been very poor on the road this season with a 1-5 record.

Injuries have depleted the rosters of many NBA teams and that is the case for the Pelicans and Mavericks. The home team will likely sit Doncic due to his knee issues, while Williamson has not played for the Pelicans since November 6 due to a hamstring injury.

This game counts towards NBA Cup action where the Pelicans started off winning but the Mavericks are 0-1. The Mavericks have also lost 2 of 3 games against divisional rivals and have been unable to win close games, having a 1-4 record in one-possession games. The last two games played in Dallas between the Mavericks and Pelicans resulted in one win each, but in both cases the Pelicans were able to cover the spread.

Before traveling to Dallas, the Pelicans lost to the Lakers in Los Angeles despite the good work of Ingram who scored 32 points, the night before that he had also scored 29 against the Nuggets.

Dallas Mavericks - New Orleans Pelicans Key Points

  1. Pelicans lost to the Nuggets despite having a 15-point lead in the last game
  2. PJ Washington scored 27 points with 17 rebounds and 2 assists for the Mavericks in the last game
  3. Pelicans 2nd worst in the NBA in PPG with 104.6
  4. Mavericks made 40% of the free throws they attempted against Thunder in the last game

Our Dallas Mavericks vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction

The strong shooting performance from 3 in last game by the Mavericks where they made 11 of 27 makes it seem like the 10.5 advantage that betting sites give the home team over the Pelicans on Tuesday could be short. Even more so considering that New Orleans is averaging just 104.6 PPG which is the 2nd worst in the NBA. The Pelicans are down to seven players and the Mavericks will have to take advantage of this opportunity to improve their 0-1 record in the NBA Cup. Our prediction for Mavericks vs Pelicans is: Mavericks -10.5, -109 at BetMGM.

Prediction:

 

Mavericks -10.5
