New Orleans @ Dallas picks

Kyrie Irving has committed 2.7 personal fouls per game over the last 9 games while on his home court, 0.9 higher than he's committed overall this season at home. The Dallas Mavericks have been the 8th-least efficient shooting team in the league over the last 25 games. The Dallas Mavericks will likely suffer a reduction in opportunities in this contest from squaring off against the most lethargic tempo team in the league over the last 15 games (the Pelicans).

Out of all players in the NBA, Dwight Powell registers in the 98th percentile for three-point efficiency with a a great 50.0% rate this year. Dwight Powell has played 27.6 minutes per game over the last 5 games, 11.4 higher than he's played overall this season. The 7th-quickest pace-of-play home offense in the NBA over the last 20 games has been the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks have been the 6th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 20 games while on their home court (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to added chances for scoring and assists). Away from their home court, the Pelicans have allowed the least offensive rebounds per game (9.1) in the NBA to opposing squads this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).
