Check here the preview for tonight’s game Mavericks vs Hawks here. The Dallas Mavericks (37–39) limp into this matchup still licking their wounds after a demoralizing home loss to Brooklyn. The Atlanta Hawks (36–39)? They just gave up a 32-point triple-double to Deni Avdija and lost to the tanking Trail Blazers. So, yeah—both teams are technically fighting for Play-In seeding, but this feels more like a game of “who can underwhelm the least?”
Dallas will again be without Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis, while active, continues to underperform due to injury. The Mavs are trying to find their groove, having gone 4–6 in their last 10, and haven’t covered spreads consistently at home. The Hawks, also 5–5 in their last 10, are coming off a back-to-back and haven’t fared well in those situations—but they’re catching +4.5 on the spread, which makes this one interesting for bettors.

🧩 Same Game Parlay Builder (8x+ Odds Range)
- ✅ Hawks +4.5
- ✅ Under 239.5 Total Points
- ✅ Trae Young Over 11.5 Assists
- ✅ Anthony Davis Under 22.5 Points
- ✅ Okongwu Over 9.5 Rebounds
Parlay this combo for a mid-to-high risk ticket with strong correlation. Hawks games have trended slightly under the total on the second leg of back-to-backs, and Davis’s dip in usage makes him a perfect fade candidate.
📈 Trends That Matter
- Hawks are 10–3 ATS in their last 13 games vs. teams with a losing record.
- Mavs are 1–4 ATS in their last 5 home games.
- Total has gone Under in 4 of the last 5 games for both teams.
- Hawks are 12–4 ATS in the last 16 H2H matchups vs. Dallas.
🧠 Final Prediction & Betting Picks
Both teams are mid-pack offensively and vulnerable defensively—but the Hawks’ backcourt (Trae + Daniels) is cooking right now, while Dallas can’t seem to play consistent defense. Anthony Davis’s drop in production continues to limit the Mavs’ ceiling.
Add in the fact that the Mavs have not covered -4.5 in 75% of recent home games, and this one leans toward a close contest that favors the underdog on the spread.
