[ad-6571516]
In their last 3 games the Dallas offense has been solid averaging 115.7 ppg and 52.6 percent shooting. At home they are averaging 110.9 ppg on the season and 10 straight home games they have scored at least 100 points.

The Pelicans played terrible perimeter defense in their most recent loss to the Clippers allowing L.A. to hit on 16 of their 28 3-pointers. They cannot let that happen tonight facing Dirk Nowitzki and Vince Carter, who drained 7 3-pointers and scored a season high 23 points in Dallas’ last game.

Anthony Davis has been playing well for the Pelicans and leads the team in scoring and rebounding, but he needs more help. Jrue Holiday is still out and Eric Gordon and Tyreke Evans will need to step it up.

The Pelicans did get some solid bench scoring in their loss to the Clippers, but their defense was not good since the Clip Joint shot over 51% from the floor.

The Mavs have not swept the season against New Orleans since the 2006-2007 season.

The Pelicans are 1-3-2 ATS in their last 6 road games, 1-4-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall, and they have an Under record of 5-2 in their last 7 road games.

The Mavs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against the Pelicans.

In the last 7 games between these 2 teams at Dallas the Over record is 5-2.

Jason’s Pick: The Mavs will continue their hot play back at home and their offense is simply too much for the Pelicans to deal with. Dallas will easily win this game and cover the spread.
