The Charlotte Hornets are all but officially eliminated from playoff contention, but they enter Saturday on a bit of a roll following back-to-back wins against Brooklyn and Memphis.

They beat the Grizzlies by 61 points, the largest margin of victory in the NBA in 20 years Thursday night despite playing without Dwight Howard who missed the game because of a one-game suspension for technical fouls.

Here the Hornets will visit a tanking Mavericks team which has dropped four in a row, and we can note that Charlotte will seek to avenge a 115-111 home loss to the Mavs back in January.

The road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and I like the Hornets to come through here.

My selection is a 10* play on Charlotte Hornets.
