This game will be played at American Airlines Center at 7:30 PM ET on Wednesday, January 18, 2023.
Why Bet the Hawks:
✅ The Dallas Mavericks are banged up coming into this contest. Tim Hardaway Jr. is set to miss this game, while Dorian Finney-Smith and Josh Green are just returning from injuries. With the pieces around Luka Doncic less than fully healthy, the Mavs will struggle around him.
✅ Atlanta is fully healthy, on the other hand. They have their full array of weapons available for the first time in a long time, including Clint Capela, and we should see them look better than they have for most of the season.
✅ The Mavericks have the worst record in the NBA against the spread this season. Dallas is 15-28-2 against the spread thus far, and they will continue to fail to live up to expectations here.

Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks come into this contest having won three games in a row. Those wins have come against the Heat, Raptors, and Pacers, as the Hawks appear to be rounding into form here in January. Atlanta faces a tough road test here against the Mavericks, but they are healthier than they have been all season and should be ready for the challenge.
Stopping Luka Doncic will be the challenge for the Hawks coming into this game. The height disparity between Trae Young and Luka Doncic makes that matchup impossible for the Hawks. Instead, they will have to rotate one of their bigger player to Doncic and try to hide Young elsewhere, likely on Reggie Bullock.
Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks have lost two straight games coming into Wednesday night’s game against the Atlanta Hawks. Their health situation has had something to do with that, as they have been missing a few of the role players surrounding Luka Doncic. Here, the Mavs get a couple of those pieces back, with the question being whether that will be enough to snap their losing streak.
As usual, the key to this game will be whether or not the shooting around Doncic will be good enough to win them this game. Doncic is always going to fill up the stat sheet, but he will need the likes of Reggie Bullock and Dorian Finney-Smith to step up to help him against the high-powered Hawks.
