Dallas Mavericks vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 1/19/25, 12:58 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 1/19/25 at 1:29 PM in NBA Picks

It wasn't the best January for the Mavericks, who have a 3-7 record in their last 10 games and who were unable to win on the road in 2025 since they haven't done so since beating the Suns in Phoenix on December 27. They will have a good opportunity to win again on the road against the Hornets, who have a 10-28 record and a 6-13 record at the Spectrum Center.

The Hornets are coming off an unexpected victory against the Bulls in Chicago last Friday, where they had started as 4.5-point underdogs in the betting. A good performance by the Charlotte team, who scored 64 points in the paint, La Mello Ball and Bridges scored more than 20 points and Mark Williams was 1 rebound shy of 20. It is the third time this season that the Hornets have managed to win two games in a row without ever having been able to win three in a row this season.

The Mavs overcame their bad moment with a sweet victory over the unstoppable Thunder 106-98. OKC had been 2.5 points favorites to win it even without Gilgeous-Alexander but 4 Mavericks players scored 14 or more points with Irving standing out with 25.
