Charlotte Hornets vs Dallas Mavericks NBA Preview
Despite their depleted frontline, the Mavericks are still hanging in pretty well, though it’s apparent the operation is strained, especially if PJ Washington (ankle – 0 points in 35 minutes of Tuesday vs. the Lakers) can’t make the post.
We already know Anthony Davis, Derrick Lively, and Daniel Gafford aren’t available for this one.
The Mavericks offense has bogged down the past two games, barely scoring 100 points per game in losses to the Warriors and Lakers.
Kyrie Irving is almost keeping the Mavs afloat by himself, scoring 35 twice in the last three games.
But when speaking of offensive issues, the Hornets are in a different category right now, held to barely 89 points per game across their last three, all blowout losses by 36 points or more (sheesh). I’ll take the Under.
Best Bet: Under 221.5 (-110)
Hornets vs Mavericks Parlay
By Kyle Murray
Klay Thompson Under 16.5 Points
Klay Thompson had a big game in that primetime slot against the Lakers last time out, but he gets a tough spot here against the Hornets, who have a sneaky-solid defense.
They also defend the 3-point line well, as they have allowed the 4th-lowest 3PT% in the NBA this season.
Klay likely won’t project for 30+ minutes every night, and in a game with a 10-point spread, there are multiple paths to him playing less than 30 minutes tonight. I project him for only 12.8 points in this spot.
Mark Williams Over 12.5 Points
It has been a tough stretch lately for Mark Williams, but it’s hard to hold these poor showings in blowouts against him too much.
This is a good bounce-back spot, as the Mavs are a top-10 points matchup for centers. Williams projects for 14.8 points in tonight’s matchup.

Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks NBA Wednesday Preview
The Knicks face off against the 76ers as they look to get back on track after a tough weekend against the Cavaliers and the Celtics. With both teams dealing with injuries, who can pull off the victory?
The Sixers will be without a number of players tonight. Eric Gordon (wrist) is done for the season while Kyle Lowry (hip), Guerschon Yabusele (eye), and Joel Embiid (knee) are all out as well. Former Knick Quentin Grimes is probable with a knee injury.
The biggest miss is obviously Embiid, who is now seeking other opinions and options with his knee. With a top-six protected pick, it makes sense for Philly to lose frequently in hopes of retaining it in a loaded draft.
The Knicks will remain without Mitchell Robinson (ankle) but he’s nearing a return. They have also listed OG Anunoby (foot – Probable) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee – Questionable) on the report for this game. They probably don’t need either for this game but I think it’s more likely KAT sits given the late injury last time out.
If KAT is unable to go, Josh Hart should see a boost. However, this is a strong matchup for him regardless. Over the last two seasons, Hart has played 12 games against Philly. He’s recorded 8 double doubles in those games. He has also exceeded 10.5 rebounds in 10/12 and recorded a triple double in both games this season. I’ll be grabbing Double Double (-140), over 10.5 Rebounds (+105), and Triple Double (+900).
The Knicks are just a flat-out better team than Philly right now, despite a rough couple of games. The Knicks are eighth in Adjusted Net Rating (+3.7) compared to Philly who is in 22nd (-3.9), per Dunks and Threes. The Knicks should be able to bounce back here.
I want to wait on betting this spread, but either way I want New York. Philly is the worst ATS team in the league with a 19-36-2 ATS record. I want to wait because I expect KAT might sit, which could cause the spread to drop. If that happens, I’ll grab the Knicks.
For a same game parlay, I want Josh Hart 12+ Rebounds, Brunson 30+ Points, and Paul George 20+ Points.
