Hawks vs. Mavericks Prediction

The Hawks have enjoyed a good run of form lately, besting the Indiana Pacers, the Toronto Raptors, and Miami Heat. Trae Young is averaging an impressive 27.4 points per game while Dejounte Murray is reaching an average of 28. Defensively, the team has been solid but unspectacular of late, applying pressure in all areas.

The Mavericks, meanwhile, are now 1-4 in their last five games. Alternating between winning streaks and losing skids has become a recurring pattern with the Dallas outfit. The team's defense noticeably floundered against the Trail Blazers, averaging an alarming 138 surrendered points over the two games. The team is dealing with a number of injuries at the moment that have hampered their momentum.

Overall, with the home-court advantage and a few days of rest, the Mavericks should be able to bounce back tonight. The Hawks' defense will likely struggle to contain Doncic if he's cleared to compete.

Prediction: Mavericks -3.5 (-110)
