Luka has 73 last time these two teams played. The Hawks HAVE to make him give it up more which equals more assists. And he has been a solid rebounder as well. The number is high but I think it’s over.

We're not going out too far on a limb (we don't think) to forecast no repeat of the earlier Jan. 26 meeting at State Farm Arena, when the Mavs survived a 148-143 shootout. Luka Doncic not likely to replicate his Wilt-like 73 points that night, either, almost requiring a police escort to get out of Atlanta and down to Hartfield. Trae Young (scored 30) was also available that night for the Hawks, but he's been out for five weeks with a finger injury, No matter, Atlanta keeps scoring points, is "over" 8-1 across its last nine games entering Big D tonight, and this "total" is not prohibitively high. Play Hawks-Mavs "Over"
