New Orleans at Dallas

Premium Pick

Neither team has been earning much money for bettors lately but Dallas, who are 2-7 ATS in their past nine, are just 17-33-2 ATS on the season, including a 9-16-2 ATS mark at home. The Pelicans and Mavericks have similar stats on offense and defense even though New Orleans has been hurt by the absence of injured Zion Williamson. The teams have split the first two meetings and the Pelicans are looking to avenge a 127-117 loss on Jan. 7. The Mavericks have been depending a lot on Luka Doncic, who poured in 53 points against Detroit, but only one other scorer was in double figures for Dallas, which is 5-20-1 ATS its previous 26 games following a win. Also, the Mavs are 1-9-1 ATS playing with two days rest. Take the Pelicans.
