Atlanta Hawks vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
The Atlanta Hawks are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re rested, at home, and on the healthier side. The Dallas Mavericks are on the end of a back-to-back and without Luka, which they’re going to feel with their second game in two days. However, the Hawks were easily the worst cover team in the league last season, and they’re 6-11 ATS this year. Laying points with the Hawks isn’t really an option, especially when the Mavs are the better team, with or without Luka. Give me the free bucket.
