Mavs just lost to the Pelicans on the 13th by 10, and Zion or CJ McCollum didn't play. Mavs didn't have Luka that game and won't have him today either. So it's logical to bet on the Pelicans who will now have their best player available and probably stayed in Texas for the back to back rematch in Mavs stadium. Can't trust Mavs without Luka. The offense doesn't have enough lethal options to fill the void of Luka, and defensively the Pelicans are much better and are 12-8 on the road.

Official Play: Pelicans -4

Side Bet: CJ McCollum over 17.5 points

Hail Mary: Under 236
