The Line: Betting Odds: Atlanta Hawks -1.5 — Over/Under:
The Atlanta Hawks play host to the Dallas Mavericks at the State Farm Arena on Monday night. Here’s a Dallas Mavericks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction. This article will include a Dallas Mavericks vs Atlanta Hawks Pick.
Dallas MavericksÂ
The Dallas Mavericks have been on a nice run as they were riding a four-game win streak before they got stopped in their tracks by the Heat in a 123-118 overtime road defeat last night. Kyrie Irving led the team with 27 points and six assists, PJ Washington added 21 points with 10 rebounds and three assists while Naji Marshall chipped in with 20 points off the bench. As a team, the Mavericks shot just 41 percent from the field and 10 of 40 from the 3-point line as they wasted multiple chances to win the game at the end of regulation before they scored just four points in overtime to allow the Heat off the hook in the end. The Mavs will take on the Knicks after this one.
Atlanta HawksÂ
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in a rut as they’ve lost five of their last eight games overall and they will be eager to avoid a third straight defeat after getting trampled by the Bulls in a 136-122 road defeat on Friday. Jalen Johnson led the team with 25 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists, Trae Young added 25 points with 13 assists and four steals, Clint Capela scored 21 points while Bogdan Bogdanovic chipped in with 16 points off the bench. As a team, the Hawks shot 45 percent from the field and 10 of 34 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Bulls right away and fell behind by seven points going into halftime and things only got worse in the third quarter where the Hawks allowed 41 points to fall behind by as many as 20 points. The Hawks will play against the Cavs and Hornets following this game.
Why the Dallas Mavericks will win

- The Hawks have lost seven of their last eight night games against Western Conference opponents that held a winning record.
- The Mavericks have covered the spread in each of their last eight road games on the second leg of a back-to-back against Eastern Conference opponents.
- The Hawks have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine night games following a road loss.
Total Points Facts
- Each of the Mavericks’ last six games as road underdogs has gone OVER the total points line.
- Fourteen of the Hawks’ last 16 home games have gone OVER the total points line.
Dallas Mavericks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Mavericks are still shorthanded with Dante Exum and Luka Doncic still out, while the Hawks are still missing Cody Zeller. The Mavericks come into this game as the team in better form, but it’s always tough to play on zero days rest, especially after an overtime loss. With that being said, I still prefer a play on the shorthanded Mavericks over these Hawks who haven’t been able to get on any run yet this season. This should be a close one, but I am sticking with Irving and the Mavericks to get the job done.
