The Dallas Mavericks and the Atlanta Hawks collide at the State Farm Arena on Tuesday night. Here’s a Dallas Mavericks vs. Atlanta Hawks prediction. This article will include a Dallas Mavericks vs. Atlanta Hawks pick.
Dallas Mavericks Betting Preview
The Dallas Mavericks have been ice-cold for a while now, as they’ve lost 17 of their last 19 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a seven-game losing streak after getting thrashed by the Raptors in a 122-92 road defeat on Sunday. Daniel Gafford led the team in scoring with 21 points and 11 rebounds on 10 of 10 shooting. Cooper Flagg added 17 points with eight rebounds and six assists, while Brandon Williams chipped in with 16 points off the bench but no other player finished in double figures in scoring.
As a team, the Mavericks shot just 40 percent from the field and a miserable five of 30 from the 3-point line as they looked outmatched from the start and scored just 15 points in the second quarter to trail by 13 points at halftime and things only got worse in the second half, where the Mavericks allowed 65 points.
Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been on fire lately, as they’ve reeled off seven wins from their last eight games overall and they will be eager to build on their season-high six-game win streak after beating the 76ers in a 125-116 win on Saturday. Jalen Johnson led the team with 35 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists on 12 of 19 shooting; Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 24 points with six assists; CJ McCollum tallied 17 points with seven assists; and Dyson Daniels chipped in with 15 points, nine rebounds and four assists.
As a team, the Hawks shot a healthy 55 percent from the field and 13 of 32 from the 3-point line as they got off to a sloppy start and leaked 38 points in the first quarter to fall behind by 13 points, but they played solid defense to climb back into the contest and were always in control after going on a pivotal 8-0 run in the fourth quarter.

Dallas Mavericks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Mavericks are still playing without Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively II, who are both out, while the Hawks are keeping an eye on Jonathan Kuminga, who is a game-time decision. The Mavericks haven’t been able to buy a win lately and their confidence took another gut shot after getting humbled by the Raptors in an ugly defeat on Sunday and now they take on the rising Hawks, who are playing their best basketball of the season right now.
The line was always going to be hefty but I am comfortable laying the points in this one, as the Hawks are in a groove right now and I think they stay hot with another win and cover at home.
