Charlotte Hornets vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction: bet on the Mavericks to win in a low-scoring game?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 20. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Charlotte Hornets

The Hornets have been in the basement of the Eastern Conference standings all season, but they have been on a good run lately. The team from North Carolina won three of their previous four games. First, Charlotte met twice with Phoenix, beat the Suns at home - 115:104, but lost away - 113:120. And then the team won two away victories in a row - over Utah (117:112) and Chicago (125:123).

Now Charlotte has 10 wins in 38 games of the current season. The gap from the play-in zone is 6.0 wins. That's a lot, but if the Hornets continue to win with the same regularity, they are capable of returning to the race for the top-10.

Dallas Mavericks

The Mavericks, on the other hand, have slumped lately. All because of an injury to Luka Doncic, who hasn't played since late December. Kyrie Irving also missed some of his team's games, so it's been tough for Dallas. Jason Kidd's team lost 8 of their previous 11 games and fell out of the playoff picture. The Mavs are now seventh in the Western Conference with a 23-18 win balance.

In the previous game, though, the Texans prevailed. At home, Dallas unexpectedly stopped the West leader Oklahoma - 106:98. The Mavericks allowed the opponent to make only 24 productive passes and scored only 38.5% of attempts from the game.

H2H Meetings

Last season, Dallas beat Charlotte in both games of the season series, and a year earlier the Hornets were twice stronger.

Betting Stats

• In 9 of the 13 previous matches Dallas scored no more than 223 points.

Expert Betting Tips

In the absence of Luka Doncic, Dallas is expected to have problems. In particular, the Mavs, even with Kyrie Irving already back from injury, are mostly weak on offense. However, the Texans have great defensive potential, as the previous game against Oklahoma showed, so they are able to win at the expense of their defense. We believe that will be the case in the upcoming game. We bet on Dallas to win through TU.

Also, we take W2 on assists. Charlotte lost 14 of the last 19 matches by assists, and Dallas won 10 of the previous 15 meetings.

Total Under 223.5 for 1.95 

Total Under 223.5 for 1.85
