Pick One: Charlotte Hornets +2.5 [-110]
The Dallas Mavericks have had issues in the last few games where their three-point shooters have gone cold causing them to go 3-5 in their last eight games. I expect this to continue and I like the Hornets' chances to capitalize on the other end.
Pick Two: Charlotte Hornets OVER 216.5 Points (-110)
During their last seven out of eight games, the Hornets have gone over the total point line. Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks have not covered the spread in each of their seven last meeting against eastern conference opponents. You can see the game between the Mavericks and Hornets at 8:30pm on Bally Sports Southwest or on NBA League Pass.
