The Hornets are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Mavericks are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The over is 7-0-1 in Hornets last 8 overall. The under is 5-0 in Mavericks last 5 overall. The Hornets are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Dallas.

I'd like to see the Dallas Mavericks string together good performances before I make a habit of backing them in the favorite role. It doesn't help the Mavs are on the end of a back to back and still without Luka. With that said, the Charlotte Hornets lose on the road by an average of 3.2 points, and they're still without a chunk of their rotation. The Dallas Mavericks should be able to get the job done here at home. The Hornets are just too banged up still.
