The New Orleans Pelicans have averaged more than 125 ppg through seven straight wins. They defeated the Spurs 121-116 at San Antonio on Wednesday and will be well rested with plenty of energy for this matchup with the Mavericks Sunday night.

The Pelicans are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400 and they'll face a Mavs side which has dropped six of the last seven games. Note that the road team took each of the first two matchups of the season, with Dallas earning a 128-120 win at New Orleans in the most recent meeting on Dec. 29. No doubt a good revenge spot for the red hot Pelicans tonight.

Over is 5-0 in Pelicans last five overall. Over is 4-0 in Mavericks last four home games. My money is on New Orleans to win and cover the spread in a high-scoring game.

My selection is a 10* play on New Orleans Pelicans.
