Atlanta Hawks vs Dallas Mavericks. The NBA pick for this game is the Dallas Mavericks. Due to an ankle sprain sustained during Saturday night’s loss to the Blazers, Luka Doncic is labeled as questionable for this contest. After missing the game on Sunday, Doncic now has three days to relax before facing the Hawks in this crucial matchup. As a result of the Mavericks’ recent slump, this game against the Hawks, who are now playing well, will receive a lot of attention. The defense was destroyed versus Portland, but a lot of that was due to road fatigue at the conclusion of a west coast swing. Bring the Mavericks in to defend. Dallas will win to a predicted score of 118-114.
