New Orleans Pelicans vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction & Picks : Odds Analysis & Top Props

As the Dallas Mavericks gear up to face the New Orleans Pelicans, all eyes will be on Max Christie. However, betting on him to score over 12.5 points seems risky.

His overall scoring has dipped too, with just 7.2 points in his last five outings. While he hit the over in four of those games, his consistency fades when playing away, hitting the under in all three recent road games. With an expected stat value of just 9.81, it appears the odds are stacked against him. Given these numbers, wagering on Christie to stay under 12.5 points feels like a savvy play as he navigates a formidable Mavericks defense. Don't count on him to shine bright in this matchup.
