Dallas Mavericks vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction and Betting Tips | Nov. 25, 2024

The 2018 NBA Draft ties together the storylines of two teams facing off in Monday’s Dallas Mavericks vs Atlanta Hawks game. However, the anticipated Luka Doncic vs Trae Young matchup will not take place, as the Mavericks’ star is sidelined with a wrist injury.

Without Doncic, the Mavericks split their last two games, defeating the Denver Nuggets in an Emirates NBA Cup game but falling to the Miami Heat in overtime on Sunday. Before that loss, the Mavericks had won five games in a row.

The Hawks have dropped their last two games by double digits, allowing an average of 128 points per game due to defensive struggles. They’ll aim to improve their guard play as they face a Mavericks team seeking redemption.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Dallas Mavericks vs. Atlanta Hawks game, scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.

Dallas Mavericks vs Atlanta Hawks preview

The connection between these two teams dates back to their 2018 NBA Draft trade involving Luka Dončić and Trae Young. Since then, the Mavericks have found success, even reaching the NBA Finals last season.

However, they’ll be without Dončić tonight, missing his 28.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 7.6 assists per game. Despite strong backcourt options in Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, and Quentin Grimes, their recent loss to the Miami Heat showed that offensive power alone isn’t enough.

Meanwhile, the Hawks are looking to bounce back from two blowout losses, even though they’re healthier now. They rank 24th in offense and 20th in defensive rating this November, and their recent play has been disappointing. They'll look to snap their losing streak against a Mavericks team missing Doncic.
