Mavericks at Hawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Mavericks 123, Hawks 120
Moneyline
BET MAVERICKS (+115).
The Mavericks will likely be without leading scorer Doncic again; however, they are 2-1 with him sidelined this season. Dallas has won 4 of its last 5, covering in each win. Without Doncic, it has beaten the Denver Nuggets on the road and Oklahoma City Thunder on the road in the last 10 days.
The Hawks have been too streaky to be backed here too. They have scored 110 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games and have allowed 120 and 136 points in the last 2. Dallas ranks sixth in offensive rating with the Hawks 22nd in defensive rating.
With those trends in mind, back MAVERICKS (+115).
Against the spread
PASS.
Considering how this game is expected to go, the best team-specific value is on the away side’s moneyline. Avoid a spread here as the plus-money odds above are the better wager.
Over/Under
BET OVER 238.5 (-110).
Couple the Mavericks’ efficient offense with the Hawks’ inefficient defense and the fact that Atlanta sits second in the NBA in pace, and expect numerous points scored in this game.
The Hawks are 12-5 O/U this season as well, allowing at least 116 points in 4 of their last 6. The Mavericks are 3-0-1 O/U in their last 4 games and have scored at least 121 points in 3 of their last 4. Play OVER 238.5 (-110).
