The Dallas Mavericks square off against the Charlotte Hornets at American Airlines Center in Thursday's NBA cross-conference clash. The Mavericks are ninth in the Western Conference table, while the Hornets are 14th in the Eastern Conference. Here's our match prediction. 

Dallas Mavericks completed their two-game road trip on a disappointing note. They lost 126-102 against the Golden State Warriors and followed up on that setback with a recent 107-99 defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers. 

The Mavericks, before their two consecutive losses, were on a three-match winning streak. In those games, they restricted their opponents to fewer than 120 points. 

At home, they've been performing to expectations. They come into this clash boasting a three-match winning streak and have won five of their last six outings. 

The Charlotte Hornets, on the other hand, have been in poor form. Coming into this game, they have lost four straight matches.

The most recent of those losses was a devastating 128-92 away defeat against the Golden State Warriors. In that match, they were limited to 37.1% from the field.

The Hornets' performance on the road has left much to be desired. They are currently on a four-match losing streak and have lost eight of their last nine outings.
