Dallas Mavericks (30-26) versus New Orleans Pelicans (13-42) is a Western Conference matchup on Friday night at the American Airlines Center. Both sides will be stepping on the hardwood for the first time since the All-Star break. The Mavericks headed into the break on a two-game winning streak as they look to continue their revival in the conference.

They are eighth in the standings with a win percentage of .536 and could move to seventh if the Timberwolves lose their next assignment. New Orleans Pelicans, on the other hand, are last in the standings, 31.5 games behind the Thunder at the top.

They have endured a torrid campaign so far, although they’ll look to build on their 140-133 win over the Kings before the break. Willie Green will hope that the break has done his men some good.

Our Dallas Mavericks vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction

Dallas Mavericks could be staring at a disastrous season. They have struggled for consistency since the turn of the new year.

Still, the Mavericks should have enough talent to bring down the Pelicans, whom they have defeated in three of their last four meetings.

The Mavs have also won four of their previous five clashes with the Pelicans in Dallas. Note that over has cashed in six of the last seven meetings between these sides. Over points were also scored in seven of the previous eight New Orleans matches.
