Daniel Gafford (Dallas Mavericks) Over 13.5 Points + Rebounds (-128)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Get ready to place your wagers, folks, because Daniel Gafford is on the court and he's been nothing short of a dynamo on away games lately. When the Mavericks head to Charlotte, Gafford's uncanny knack for accumulating points and rebounds is something you can't ignore. He pulls in numbers like a magnet, averaging 13.4 points and 9.4 rebounds away from home. In the last five times he's squared off against the Hornets, he's drilled in an impressive 17.4 points and snagged a cool 11 rebounds on their turf. Over his last 16 games, he's surpassed the 13.5 points + rebounds mark a whopping 14 times. And on the road, he's hit this mark in 7 out of his last 8 outings. Gafford's over 13.5 for points and rebounds is a bet that exudes confidence. It's a bet that can give you an edge. So,

P.J. Washington (Dallas Mavericks) Over 14.5 Points + Assists (-130)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When P.J. Washington takes the court for the Hornets against the Mavericks this Wednesday, he isn't just stepping onto any hardwood. He's stepping into an arena where he's been a menace, consistently delivering the goods on the road. He's been cooking with gas, averaging 15.8 points and 2.8 assists over his last five away games. That's 18.6 combined points and assists, folks. More than enough to breeze past the over 14.5 points and assists mark. And let's not forget Washington's recent form - six straight games exceeding our target. Even on the road, he's 3 for 3. Sure, he's had a quieter time against Dallas, but these current trends are hard to ignore. So, are we backing Washington to keep this hot streak alive? You bet, we are.

Charlotte Hornets vs Dallas Mavericks : Dallas Mavericks Over 96.5 Team Total Points (-526)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Despite their recent rough patch, with a record of 1-4 in their last five games, the Dallas Mavericks have shown they can pile on the points. They've averaged an impressive 120.8 points per game overall in their recent outings, and even on the road, their scoring hardly dips, with an average of 118.2 points. Now, they face the Charlotte Hornets, and the set point total is just 96.5. This is significantly lower than what the Mavericks have been posting, even during their recent slump. Our model predicts a score of around 104.66 for the Mavericks, comfortably clearing the 96.5 point mark. The numbers suggest that, while the Mavs may have their struggles, putting points on the board isn't one of them. Therefore, betting on Dallas to score over 96.5 points appears to be a solid choice.
