Mavs taking on the Pelicans without Brandon Ingram and with Zion questionable = bad news for New Orleans who have been great to open the season. Pelicans lost to a Utah team with inferior defense, and now have to play a defensively sound Mavs team shorthandedly, who just held Ja Morant and the Grizzlies to under 100 points Saturday. I see Mavs grinding them out in a low scoring and dominating fashion; and with Pelicans allowing teams an average of 114 points a night, they should have no issues clearing 110. But I would avoid the over on the game total, given the talent that could be missing tonight for the Pelicans.
