New Orleans Pelicans at Dallas Mavericks odds, picks and predictions
The New Orleans Pelicans (1-9) travel to American Airlines Center Monday to take on the Dallas Mavericks (6-3). Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Pelicans at Mavericks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.
Coming into this game, the New Orleans Pelicans will once again be down their two best players, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. Ingram is technically listed as questionable, but it seems more likely he sits.
However, they have shown potential even without them, staying close in the first half with the Warriors and the Kings. The Pels are one of just three one-win teams remaining.
They'll be taking on a surging Mavericks group that is picking up the pace. Dallas didn't start off hot but has won its last two and three of its last four. Behind MVP candidate Luka Doncic, the Mavs will be strong favorites in this matchup. Doncic sits 12th in points and 14th in assists per game.
