Mavericks vs. Pelicans NBA Betting Preview, Picks and Odds - Tuesday, October 25

It'll be Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks taking on the New Orleans Pelicans on TNT at 7:30PM ET on Tuesday, October 25. These are two teams that are hoping to win the Western Conference this season, and New Orleans has a real opportunity to make that clear in this one. 

While the Mavericks made it to the Western Conference Finals a year ago, the Pelicans are still a bit unproven. But they're as talented a team as there is in this league right now, so all they have to do is start learning how to win some games against elite competition.  

Here is Dimers' free betting preview for Mavericks vs. Pelicans, plus our picks, score prediction, best odds and player props are featured in this article.

Three Things To Know Before Betting On Mavericks vs. Pelicans

1. Mavericks Continue To Dominate? 

This has been a really lopsided head-to-head series in recent years. In the last 10 meetings between the two, the Mavericks are 8-2 straight-up and 7-3 against the spread. This is, however, a very different Pelicans team, so that head-to-head history might not mean all that much. New Orleans will also be fired up to be playing at home on national television.

2. No Brandon Ingram or Zion Williamson

Brandon Ingram is one of the best scorers in the entire league, and he took his game to another level towards the end of last season. Ingram did, however, suffer a concussion in New Orleans' loss to Utah the other night, so it might take some time for him to return to action. Zion Williamson is also out for this game. That means that the Pelicans will need a lot from CJ McCollum.

3. Mavericks Must Lock In 

Over the last three seasons, Dallas is just 3-7 SU and 1-9 ATS when coming off a home win over a division rival. That's a disappointing trend for the Mavericks, as it means they might not know how to maintain their focus after a big win. This is, however, a primetime game and that generally brings the best out of Luka.
