*NBA(1u): Pelicans +2.5(-110) vs Mavericks–7 PM CT
Dallas enters this game off of an impressive road win against the Heat, but I’m expecting this Dallas team to start regressing here in the near future. They are without a volume scorer in Tim Hardaway Jr and obviously traded away Kristaps Porzingis at the Deadline, and I’m still not sold that they found the right mix of guys to counteract those guys being out of the rotation. Since trading for CJ McCollum, the Pelicans have immediately turned things around on the offensive end of the floor; over their past 3 games, the Pels rank 6th in offensive efficiency. New Orleans is a team that is still playing catch-up after their brutal start to the season, and with this being their 6th straight home game, I think they can catch the Mavericks napping here in the final game before the All-Star Break. The Pelicans have beaten Dallas once this season, and with CJ McCollum now paired up with Brandon Ingram, I think the Pelicans have more than enough to match up with a Dallas team that is really centered around one guy at the moment.
