Atlanta Hawks vs. Dallas Mavericks Betting Tips
Trae Young has an over/under of 26.5 points via FanDuel. He's favored to go UNDER (-120) 26.5 points, which is not a bad bet to make. However, it might be better to place your money for him to go OVER (-110) since he has scored at least 27 points three times in his last five games.
Meanwhile, Anthony Davis is favored to go UNDER (-132) 22.5 points via FanDuel. He has not scored 20 points or more since returning from injury. He's still under minutes restriction, so he'll likely hit the mark against Atlanta.
Atlanta Hawks vs. Dallas Mavericks Prediction
The Mavericks are slightly favored to beat the Hawks due to having homecourt advantage. However, both teams are very inconsistent, and this game looks even on paper, especially with Kyrie Irving out for Dallas. The prediction is a win for the Hawks, with the score going OVER 237.5 points.
