Key Factors
Favors Over
The matchup vs. Dallas is a strong one for three-pointers; when the Dallas Mavericks are playing at home, opposing starting SGs have totaled the 3rd-most treys per game in the NBA this year (2.8).
The New Orleans Pelicans will likely see an increase in possessions in this game from sharing the court with the 3rd-speediest pace-of-play offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Dallas Mavericks).
Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and result in additional opportunities for scoring and assists, and the Pelicans grade out 4th-best in in the league with 13.7 offensive boards per game over the last 15 games.
Favors Under
As it relates to scoring, the New Orleans Pelicans's poor 108.9 points per game measures as the worst in the NBA this year.
The 4th-slowest pace-of-play visiting team in the NBA over the last 5 games has been the Pelicans.
Over the last 10 games, the opposition's starting SGs have attempted 1.8 free throws per game (6th-fewest in the league) against the Dallas Mavericks, making it tough to get to the free-throw line.
