Dallas at New Orleans

This game will be of interesting contrast in styles, as Dallas has been an up-tempo team all season, and likes to push the ball. They will get a lot of resistance from the New Orleans Pelicans who play strong on the defensive end - especially at home. The pelicans have pushed back strong vs. a team that likes to push the ball, and calls for a high total. Since the start of the 2008 season, New Orleans has played to a total of 200 or more 44 times on their home court, playing 32-12 to the UNDER. It is going to be hard to push this one over the top vs. a team that has shown the desire and ability to impose its defensive will on a scoring opponent at home. Play this one UNDER the total.
