De’Andre Hunter Over 14.5 Points (-115)
This game sets up great for Hunter. He has scored 15 or more points in seven of his last eight outings. On top of that, Dallas ranks 28th in defensive efficiency to the small forward position. Our projection model has Hunter scoring 15.56 points in this game, which shows an implied value of +22.23% when looking at the -115 at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Mavericks vs. Hawks Predictions
The Mavericks have lost four of their last five games, and two of those were blowouts against the Portland Trailblazers. However, all of those contests were on the road, so Dallas will look to bounce back while playing in front of its home fans for the first time since a Jan. 7 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. The Mavs have won five of their last six games at home with the lone loss coming against the Boston Celtics on Jan. 5.
The Hawks have won three in a row against some solid competition, taking down the Indiana Pacers, Toronto Raptors, and Miami Heat respectively. However, Atlanta is just 5-8 ATS against the Western Conference and 9-13-1 ATS away from home. This feels like an important bounce-back game for the Mavericks, and star PG Luka Doncic should be fresh after resting in Sunday’s game against the Blazers.
The Pick: Mavericks -2 | -110 at FanDuel Sportsbook
