What you need to know about the Hornets

Charlotte has had two days off since extending its winning streak to three games on Wednesday. The Hornets have won five of their seven games in March, with three of those games coming on the road. They are coming off consecutive victories over the Pelicans, Thunder and Hawks. 

This will be the second game of a five-game homestand that concludes next Friday night. Power forward Miles Bridges leads a balanced lineup that features three players scoring at least 19 points per game. Charlotte has covered the spread in five of its last seven games, despite playing without fourth-leading scorer Gordon Hayward, who is sidelined indefinitely due to an ankle injury. 

What you need to know about the Mavericks

Dallas had its three-game winning streak snapped in a 111-101 loss at Philadelphia on Friday night. The Mavericks have still won eight of their last 10 games, including consecutive road wins at Houston, Boston and Brooklyn prior to the loss at Philadelphia. They are wrapping up the five-game road trip with Saturday night's game in Charlotte. 

Star point guard Luka Doncic leads Dallas with 28.0 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game. Doncic is coming off a poor showing, connecting on 5 of 20 attempts from the floor in the loss to the 76ers. The Mavs have covered the spread in 13 of their last 18 games.
