Mavericks vs Pelicans Betting Pick
This game will be played at Smoothie King Center at 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday, October 25, 2022.
Why Bet The Mavericks:
✅ Injuries are a huge factor for the New Orleans Pelicans coming into this Mavericks vs Pelicans contest. The Pelicans are set to be without Brandon Ingram, as he is in concussion protocol. They could also be without Zion Williamson, as he is questionable with a hip injury. Assuming that the Pelicans do not risk Williamson’s health for their fourth game of the regular season, the Mavericks should take advantage of the injuries in New Orleans.
✅ It is very early in the season, but the Mavericks have the number one offensive rating in the NBA and the third best defensive rating in the league. Christian Wood has already made an impact for the Mavericks within his first couple of games with the team. Look for the Mavericks offense to keep rolling against a banged up Pelicans team here.

✅ Dallas’ record is not that impressive looking at 1-1 on the season. But they should be 2-0 if not for having blown a huge lead against the Phoenix Suns in their season opener last week. Putting any sort of context behind the Mavs’ results this year so far would indicate that they are way better than their record suggests and that they are the best bet given the situational particulars here.
Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks have split the first two games of their 2022-23 NBA campaign, dropping their opener to the Phoenix Suns before beating the Memphis Grizzlies. That win over the Grizzlies came by a whopping 41 points, and was a statement to the rest of the league that the Mavericks have their sights set on another deep run in this year’s postseason.
In this contest, look for the Mavericks to take advantage of their huge edge in the form of Luka Doncic offensively. Doncic is a matchup nightmare for any opposing point guard, but will be especially daunting for a New Orleans team whose point guard options are CJ McCollum and Jose Alvarado. Expect Doncic to have another huge game here to propel the Mavs.
New Orleans Pelicans
For the New Orleans Pelicans, injuries are the main concern coming into this contest against Dallas. Brandon Ingram is in concussion protocol following the team’s last outing, while Zion Williamson has a hip injury that could see him ruled out for this game as well. Whether or not Williamson plays, the Pelicans will be holding their breath that their stars will heal up sooner rather than later.
From an on-court perspective, the presence of Jonas Valanciunas is going to be huge for the Pelicans in this game. While JaVale McGee is an upgrade over Dwight Powell at the center position for the Mavs this season, Valanciunas is still superior to McGee from a rebounding perspective. If the Pelicans can control the glass, they can still win this game without one or two of their top weapons.
