Mavericks vs Pelicans NBA Odds, Picks and Predictions Tonight

Dallas Mavericks are playing New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Dallas won its first game of the season on Saturday. New Pelicans lost their first match of this season to the Utah Jazz on Sunday. Christian Wood has been a key player for the Mavericks this year.

Christian Wood has played for seven different teams in his seven-year NBA career. He played two seasons with the Houston Rockets and was traded to the Mavericks in the summer. Wood is a great compliment to Luka Doncic in Dallas' offense. Sportsbooks have Wood's over/under on points scored set at 16.5.  The best odds we can find are at that 16:5 total. The game starts at 7.30 PM. It's a home game for the Pelicans. They are currently 7th in their division. Dallas is 6th.

Christian Wood bets on Mavericks over 16.5 points.

Dallas is a 4-point favorite against New Orleans. Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson are injured. CJ McCollum will be the focal point of the Pelicans' offense without them. Dallas put up 137 points on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. I'm staying off the spread and moneyline markets until I know more about Williamson's injury.

The Mavericks and Pelicans are playing a fast-paced game tonight. Dallas leads the league in points per possession and New Orleans is fourth in the NBA in terms of points scored per possessions. The Pelicans have played well over 120 points in each of their three games this season. The Mavericks are no longer a team that will slow down the game so much to allow this game to hit the Under.

The Over is 5-0 in the Pelicans’ last five home games.
