The Hornets and Mavericks will play on consecutive days. Charlotte defeated the Grizzlies 112-97 at FedEx Forum, a game in which they had a 22-point lead, scored 52 points in the paint, and secured their 20th win of the year.
The Hornets will then enter Thursday as 4.5-point favorites to beat the Mavericks on Friday. This isn't a coincidence, as Charlotte has won its last four games, surpassing its win total from last season when it finished with a 19-62 record.
That same day, the Mavericks lost 102-118 to the Timberwolves at home; Dallas was without its rookie sensation, Cooper Flagg. In the loss, PJ Washington scored 21 points, all of them in the second half. It wasn't a great game for Max Christie either. He had been scoring 20 or more points consecutively, but going 1-for-8 from the field against Minnesota ended that streak; he made 7 free throws in that game.

Our Dallas Mavericks vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
The Mavs trailed for the entire game against Minnesota, except for 26 seconds. In addition to being without Flagg, Dallas also had Klay Thompson sidelined with knee soreness; Anthony Davis is still out with a hand injury, and Kyrie Irving hasn't played all season.
These factors undoubtedly contribute to the Hornets securing their fifth consecutive victory; Miller scored 26 points and Bridges added 20 in his last game with the Hornets.
Our prediction for Mavericks vs Hornets is: Hornets -4.5.
