New Orleans Pelicans vs Dallas Mavericks Betting Preview

The New Orleans Pelicans, currently sitting at 4-10, head to the American Airlines Center to take on the Dallas Mavericks, who are 7-7. This Tuesday night matchup kicks off at 8:30 PM ET and features two divisional rivals with plenty of motivation on both sides.

The Mavericks come in as heavy favorites, with the spread set at Mavericks -12.0 and their moneyline at -630. This gives them an implied win probability of 84%. Despite the favorable odds, Dallas has been inconsistent lately, dropping six of their last ten games. However, they are riding a high from an upset victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, where they won 121-119 despite entering as 7.5-point underdogs.

Conversely, the Pelicans, listed at +490 on the moneyline, have just a 16% chance of winning according to the odds. They are facing a rough patch, particularly on the road, where they've lost five consecutive games. New Orleans also suffered a narrow defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers in their last outing, falling 104-99.

An extra layer to this contest is the Pelicans' recent schedule. They've had three days of rest since their last game, which could offer a valuable advantage in terms of player recovery and preparation. This could be crucial in disrupting the Mavericks' home-court advantage.

While the odds heavily favor Dallas, the Pelicans are desperate to snap their road losing streak and turn their season around. With both teams having much to prove, this matchup promises intrigue and intensity. Keep an eye on whether the Pelicans' rest advantage can help them pull off an upset or if the Mavericks will capitalize on their favorable odds and home turf to secure another victory.
