Advice and prediction

Last season, the Dallas Mavericks had one of the best offenses in league history based on offensive rating. While they’ve taken a step back early this season, any offense led by Luka Doncic is going to be a potent one.

Charlotte, meanwhile, has had a rather porous defense despite facing some below-average offenses early in the season. While it could all add up to taking the Mavs tonight, better odds are on the over of 222.5.
