The Mavericks are close to the leading six of the Western Conference. The club is able to show a much better game, but has lost concentration. Although, judging by the last meeting, the situation has somewhat leveled off. Dallas dealt with Detroit in the classroom and generally looked more than confident on the floor (127-117). Of course, such a result was expected from the team, since the Pistons are a clear outsider of the East and are not capable of serious competition. Ricky Carlisle’s charges will play the next match against the reigning champion. But do not forget that the Lakers are not acting with the most optimal lineup, so hosts will have a chance to score points.
Charlotte continues to fall. At the moment, the Hornets are in eighth place in the East, although until recently they were in the top six teams in this conference. All this happened due to the fact that there are too many injured in the hornets. For example, Malik Monk, Gordon Hayward and Lamello Ball are not playing now. These players are sorely lacking in the team. Charlotte have suffered five defeats in their last six games. They won their only victory in the confrontation with Portland (109-101). However, immediately after that, the Hornets lost to New York (97-109).
