New Orleans Pelicans vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction

The Dallas Mavericks are comfortably the better team, and they’re at home, so a beatdown would surprise nobody. The New Orleans Pelicans are also the most injured team in the league with McCollum, Jones, Murray, Zion, and Alvarado out. However, the Mavs have been hit or miss through 14 games, and they’re 6-7-1 ATS on the season. Luka is also questionable for the Mavs due to a knee injury. Double-digit chalk without Luka would be nuts. Check the injury report before locking in anything. Still, at the time of this writing, give me the Pels and the points.
