Command Analysis
New Orleans Pelicans
USACurrent form
New Orleans has struggled with inconsistency since the start of the season, which has led to their current position among the outsiders of the Western Conference. The team has lost three games in a row, losing to Memphis (126:139), Charlotte (92:123) and Toronto (104:113). The main problem is the absence of attack leader Brandon Ingram, who was a key figure in Willie Green offensive schemes.
The team is too dependent on Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum in attack, but their efforts are not enough to achieve stable results. The Pelicans have lost too many points and risk remaining in the bottom three of the Western Conference.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brandon Ingram and Herbert Jones will not play in the next game due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
The Pelicans have won 3 of their last 5 head-to-head games.
Probable lineup: Williamson - Murphy, Missy - Murray, McCollum.
Dallas Mavericks
USACurrent form
Dallas looks more confident than its opponent, although they have their own problems. The Mavericks are still without Luka Doncic, but the team is trying to adapt to the new reality.
In the last match, Jason Kidd team defeated Washington (130:108), where Klay Thompson made 7 three-pointers and became one of the main heroes of the meeting. Before that, there were losses to stronger opponents, but the Mavericks still retain a place in the top ten. Their main task is to secure a place in the play-in zone, and for this they need to win games like the one against New Orleans.

1.74Tip and bets
New Orleans can put together some good games, but their lack of consistency leaves them vulnerable. Even at home, the Pelicans can't use their advantage to their full potential, which makes their situation difficult, plus the absence of Brandon Ingram, who is the leader of the New Orleans team, is very noticeable.
Dallas, despite the difficulties, continues to fight for its place in the top 10 of the West and already seems to have learned how to act without Luka Doncic. The latest victory inspired the team, and Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving prove that they can take on leadership functions. Given the instability of New Orleans, Dallas' chances of success look preferable.
Our prediction is a Dallas win with overtime at 1.77
Bet on total
The Pelicans are in a position where they have nothing to lose, so they can play boldly and aggressively. Dallas also has to step up the pace, as every win is worth its weight in gold. Expect offensive basketball from both teams, which will lead to a high overall total.

Bet on statistics
The last match showed that the Mavericks can attack effectively even without Luka Doncic. Klay Thompson has gained excellent form, and Kyrie Irving adds attacking variability. We expect the visitors to once again demonstrate productive basketball and break the individual total.
