The Mavericks are coming off arguably their best home victory of the season where they have struggled many times. They beat the Lakers and now they go on the road to face the Hawks who are eager to get some more confidence. The Hawks are also on 1 day rest and hold a huge advantage in the situation ATS 17-10 vs. the Mavericks 11-18 ATS. The Mavericks are also due for a let down as they are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 following a SU win. They are also 3-13 following an ATS win so I hope you haven't bet them back to back.

The Hawks on the other hand are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 as home favorites .5 to 4.5 and 29-14-1 ATS overall in their last 44 home games as favorites. Mavericks are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 trips to Atlanta. The addition of Butler and Haywood should help the Mavericks again, but Butler is a bit banged up and it's not like the Hawks are not aware of what these two could do facing them already twice this season. Haywood has been good averaging 16ppg and 9.5 rebounds, Butler however has not going 8-23 from the field in two games combined for just 20 points and 15 rebounds.

Hawks are 22-6 at home winning by a margin of 9ppg. They are 18-8 against the west this year and 10-1 vs. the West at Philips Aena. The last time these two faced the Hawks did not play well shooting but still came away with the win in Dallas. Dallas had a lot of trouble with the athleticism of the Hawks and I think the same will hold true for tonight.
