Pelicans vs Mavericks Prediction for Today's Game

Based on recent trends and head to head stats, Mavericks the Scorecaster predicts Mavericks to win tonight's game by 9 points. This model factors in recent against the spread (ATS) trends and scoring which predicts Mavericks to cover the 4.5 point spread and the total to go and the total to go over 226 points.

Staff Pick DAL ATS (-4.5)

The Pelicans come into this one on a cold streak having lost their last 9 games. The injuries to Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram have proved to be extremely costly. The Mavericks come into this one 5th in the Western Conference and have won 2 of their last 3 games. Luka Doncic is coming off a 53-point performance in the Mavericks win over the Pistons last game out. The Pelicans have been ice cold and I don't see them stopping Luka. Take Dallas to win and cover the 4.5 points.
