Atlanta Hawks vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
It’s weird seeing the Mavs in a decent-sized favorite role, given everything that’s happened over the last two months. However, the Mavs are as healthy as they’ve been in a while, they’re at home with the rest advantage, and they’re back in the play-in tournament. The Mavs have a lot going for them and the motivation to win. The Hawks played last night and lost to the Trail Blazers. The Hawks look unserious half the time, and last night was inexcusable. There’s no way you see what the Hawks did yesterday and then want to get behind them here. I’ll lay the points with the Mavs.
