Dallas won the first meeting this season by 41 points, 132-91 in November, but the Mavericks are a just a slight favorite in tonight's matchup due to injuries. Still, the Mavericks have played a tough schedule this month and this will be a chance to get a win against a team that has been devastated by injuries the whole season. New Orleans is 9-32 straight up, 17-24 ATS and it is playing its fourth game in six days and the first three were on the road. The Pelicans are 1-12 ATS their past 13 Wednesday games and they have lost 10 in a row against Western Conference opponents. New Orleans also has lost nine of 10 home games and 14 of 18 overall. Five of the past six meetings at New Orleans have gone OVER. The Pelicans are 8-4 OVER their past 12 games and 7-1 OVER against Southwest Division teams. Take the Mavericks ATS, and play the OVER.
