Advice and prediction

The Mavericks have not played a game since Saturday due to COVID-19. Monday was set to be Porzingis’ debut before the game was postponed due to contact tracing and positive cases.

Now, the Mavericks will be integrating one key piece into a lineup and rotation that will be far from the norm. Add in the Hornets playing as well as they have this season and Charlotte +3.5 seems like a bargain. In fact, Hornets +145 seems like the best bet.

Prediction: Charlotte 111, Dallas 104
