Why Bet on Dallas Mavericks?

The Mavs were without Kyrie Irving on Wednesday and lost their third in a row, 132-109. The Mavs couldn’t stop Devin Booker, who had 46 points. Booker was largely responsible for the Suns outscoring the Mavericks 43-20 in the third quarter. The Mavericks had control of the game in the second quarter when they were up by as much as 16 points and still were up 54-40 five-plus minutes before halftime.

“We didn’t execute anything defensively,” coach Jason Kidd said. “Book was going and when he gets going, he’s one of the best at the midrange and getting to the basket. And he doesn’t have to go get it in the first quarter. He was patient and he picked his spots and took advantage of it.”

Luka Doncic was great as usual with 34 points, nine assists and eight rebounds in 39 minutes – he’s playing too many minutes. Doncic only had 10 points after halftime. It was an apparent tweak to his right leg that slowed him. It happened just before halftime and the superstar clearly wasn’t the same afterward.

Dante Exum accounted for six points, two rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes as he was active for the first time since New Year’s Day after being sidelined by a right plantar fascia sprain. Forward Grant Williams was ejected after two technical fouls.

Irving is questionable for Friday and Doncic might be listed that way, too, but he usually plays through it.

Why Bet on Atlanta Hawks?

Murray only committed one turnover in 33 minutes on the court. He’s playing good basketball at a time when his name has come up in multiple trade rumors, which could only be driving up Atlanta’s asking price.

In the eight games before Wednesday, Bey shot 28.9% from the field and 20.0% from three. With De’Andre Hunter sidelined by injury, Bey has a little more room to play through shooting slumps.

Bogdan Bogdanovic has been starting for Young and extended his made three-pointer streak to 53 straight games in the loss, the second-longest active streak in the NBA (Damian Lillard: 119) and the second-longest such streak in franchise history. Bogi has knocked down 129 triples, the sixth-most total three-pointers in the NBA.

Friday starts a six-game homestand for Atlanta. The Hawks have won 10 of their last 12 home games against Dallas. They are 3-3 at home vs. West teams this season and have won two straight. Hawks assistant coach Igor Kokoskov served as an assistant coach for Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd during the 2021-22 season.
