New Orleans at Dallas

The New Orleans Pelicans have not been the same team since the departure of Chris Paul. They head to Dallas having lost four straight games, and six of their last seven. The good news is that they have been competitive over a long stretch at 11-8-2 ATS in their last 21 played. Aver the years, Dallas has been the best road team in the NBA, but things have not been as easy at home. Keep in mind that New Orleans was just a 3-point loser here their last time in, and that turned the series into a 6-1 ATS run for the road team in the last seven meetings. New Orleans is in their best spot, as they have the best NBA record when bouncing back off a double-digit loss at 30-11-1 ATS in their last 42. The Pelicans get it done on the road, and will hang around in this one. Back the road team New Orleans in this one.
