New Orleans is hosting the Mavs for the first game of the series, 3 days after their loss at Dallas by 111-98. We cannot conclude about the teams after that game, because New Orleans used their reserves for much more time than Dallas did. Even with that factor, Dallas managed to get that margin only at the last 2 minutes, where they hit 3/3 3-pointers and New Orleans didn't score at all.

Dallas is visiting New Orleans in a very difficult game for them as the Hornet are 22-8 ATS at their last 30 home games while they are 43-16-2 ATS at their last 61 Saturday games. So far this season they are 26-15 ATS at home and 12-8 when playing against teams with a winning record. They also are 15-10 ATS after a loss and 4-1 at the last 5 games after a loss. New Orleans when they are having 2 days to rest, they are 8-2, with 5-0 record at their last 5 and 4-1 ATS. Moreover, when their opponent is having 2 days to rest, as well, they are 3-0 (3-0 ATS).

Dallas, managed to get to the playoffs and get the 7th position, after all, but they are having a very difficult job against the Hornets. Dallas is 18-23 ATS when playing far from home and 7-13 ATS when playing away against teams with a winning record. Dallas, also, is 20-28-2 ATS after a win and 2-3 at their last 5, while they are 4-7 ATS when they are having 2 days to rest and 1-4 at their last 5 after a 2-day rest with 2-3 ATS. When playing against an opponent who had 2 days to rest, they are 0-2 (1-1 ATS). Finally, they are 3-8 (3-8 ATS) after a win by 10-19 points.

I believe that New Orleans is a better team and if they are serious and don't underestimate Dallas, they will get the victory with that spread and more.
