Randy’s Pick

I was very high on both of these teams this season, so I'm intrigued with this matchup overall. With that said, the New Orleans Pelicans are banged up, and they're hard to back when undermanned. The Pels won't have Trey Murphy, CJ McCollum, Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall, and Herbert Jones is questionable. The Dallas Mavericks are coming off one of their best performances of the season and their defense is downright rolling, especially from deep where they have the best shooting percentage. With so many bodies banged up, I have to lay the bucket with the Mavs.
