It's been a miserable week or so for the Charlotte Hornets, who have made NBA history by having a -131 point differential in their last three games. Things won't get any easier tonight for Charles Lee's squad as they take on Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks.
Our staff has submitted their picks for tonight's game.
Zachary Roberts: Mavericks 120, Hornets 102
Marginal improvement will come again, especially if LaMelo Ball and Mark Williams are in the lineup. The Hornets beat this Mavs team without Luka Doncic and before Anthony Davis, who remains out.
