New Orleans Pelicans vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Pick Prediction 5/12/2021 by Tony T.
Pelicans at Mavericks—NBA pick is New Orleans Pelicans +9.5. Pelicans still in the hunt for the tenth seed down three games with three to go to the Spurs. San Antonio figures to be an underdog in their final three games so there is a glimmer of home for the Pelicans. Dallas could be without Kristaps Porzingis who is listed as questionable. JJ Redick is out for the Mavs. With Ball and Bledsoe healthy in the guard position the Pelicans have been competitive enough to cover four straight and eight of their past nine games. Dallas coming off a 29 point defeat at Memphis on Tuesday and are on a back to back in this spot. Rest advantage for the Pelicans here. Mavs are playing their third set of back to backs this month and ninth game in twelve days. Play New Orleans +9.5.
