NBA Betting Trends

Charlotte

The Hornets are 4-9 against the spread in their last 13 road games and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games against a team with a winning home record.

Dallas

The Mavericks are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 home games and 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games against Eastern Conference opponents.

Prediction:

Dallas has been playing well, even with a severely depleted roster. With the new additions, the team should have some better depth and more motivation to make a playoff push. Hardaway is another scoring option for this Dallas team, which should help them improve their offensive numbers. Charlotte has been very inconsistent on the road and I think the Hornets will struggle to cover today against this new Dallas team.

NBA Prediction: Dallas Mavericks -5.5
