Charlotte at Dallas

The Dallas Mavericks have been heading in the wrong direction for half a decade and running. Counting the playoffs, this team will lose more games than the previous year for the fourth straight time. They are 7-22 over their last 29 games, and seem to be mailing it in as they are currently on a four game slide. The Hornets are still playing hard, have a winning record over their last 7 at 4-3, and have covered four of their last six. When Charlotte entered the league in 2005, they went on to go 0-16 vs. Dallas, but have since begun the payback by winning three of the last five, including an eight point win in Dallas back in January. Take Charlotte.
