When D’Angelo Russell is leading your team in assists, you know your offense is in trouble. Such is the case for the Mavericks, who rank last in the NBA in scoring averaging 107.4 points a game.
The Pelicans aren’t much better. They rank second from the bottom in scoring and field goal percentage. They also are the third-worst free throw shooting team. New Orleans is averaging 104.8 points in its last five games.
New Orleans most dynamic and explosive player, Zion Williamson, is out with a strained left hamstring.
Dallas won’t have its main scoring big man, Anthony Davis. He is sidelined with a left calf strain.
Given these key injuries to these two slumping offenses, I’m going Under.
