The Dallas Mavericks are averaging 113.8 points on 47.4 percent shooting and allowing 113.3 points on 48.5 percent shooting. Luka Doncic is averaging 32.8 points and 8.1 assists, while Kyrie Irving is averaging 26.1 points and 5.2 rebounds.

The Mavericks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Hawks are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 Sunday games and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 1 days rest. The under is 4-0 in Mavericks last 4 overall. The under is 6-2 in Hawks last 8 overall. The Mavericks are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Atlanta and 4-14 ATS in the last 18 meetings.

The Dallas Mavericks have been free-falling since the Kyrie trade, and I doubt things improve with them on the end of a back to back. The Atlanta Hawks are rested, at home where they win by an average of 2 points, and they’re fighting for seeding in the play-in tournament. I’ll lay the bucket with the Hawks.
