Doncic’s return could help the Mavs beat the Hawks. Luka should be the leader the Mavericks have lacked in recent games. With the Slovene in the lineup, the Texans’ offensive prowess could grow. It’s time for the Hawks to break their winning streak on the road.
Both teams have been quite productive in their recent games. The Mavs scored at least 119 points against the Blazers and the Hawks scored 121 against the Heat. It is very likely that the encounter will be a high-scoring one.
The Mavs suffered another defeat without Doncic. The team leader is again out with an ankle injury.
The Mavs lost four times in their last games. Twice they lost to the Portland Trail Blazers (123-140 and 119-136) and once each suffered a fiasco against the Los Angeles Clippers (101-131) and Oklahoma City Thunder (109-120).
January 13 is the date of the latest Dallas victory. The club from Texas defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in overtime (119-115).
