The Atlanta Hawks and the Dallas Mavericks collide at the American Airlines Center on Sunday night.

The Atlanta Hawks have been in great form lately as they’ve won eight of their past 10 games overall, but they will be eager to bounce back in this one after getting routed by the Raptors in a 125-114 road loss on Friday. John Collins and DeAndre Hunter led the team in scoring with 23 points apiece, Trae Young added 22 points with 13 assists while Bogdan Bogdanovic chipped in with 18 points, five assists and four steals off the bench. As a team, the Hawks shot 46 percent from the field and nine of 29 from the 3-point line as they fought hard to cut an early 18-point deficit to just one point going into halftime, but the Raptors responded with 36 points in the third quarter to push the margin back out to double-digits.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks have been in decent shape as they’ve won four of their past seven games and they will be looking to stay hot after taking down the red-hot 76ers in a 107-98 home win on Friday. Luka Doncic led the team with a monster triple-double of 33 points with 13 rebounds and 15 assists, Reggie Bullock added 20 points while Jalen Brunson chipped in with 19 points. As a team, the Mavericks shot 45 percent from the field and 10 of 34 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going and trailed by 16 points early on, but they kept they made adjustments at halftime and came out firing in the third quarter where they outscored the 76res by 32-15 to set up the comeback win.

Looking at the betting trends, the Hawks are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games, 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against a team with a winning record and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Mavericks are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 Sunday games and 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a win.

Head to head, the under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings overall, the Hawks are 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings overall and the Hawks are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings in Dallas.

The Hawks could be shorthanded in this one as Lou Williams, John Collins and Danilo Gallinari are all listed as questionable, while the Mavericks will be without Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr, while Maxi Kleber is listed as questionable. These two teams have already met once this season with the Hawks blowing away the Mavericks by 113-87 back on Oct 21 but I think we’re going to see a much closer contest in this one. The Hawks were on a great run before getting stopped in their tracks on Friday, while the Mavericks are starting to heat up after beating the 76ers in their last outing. You can make an argument for either side here, but the Hawks are 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings overall, so I’m backing them to pull off the upset in this one.
