The NBA Dog of the month is on Charlotte. Game 504 at 7:05 eastern. The Hornets opened up as a 1 point favorite and the line was hit hard on Dallas and shot up to 2.5. That sets up a rare dog system that has won all 11 times since 1995 and plays on home dogs with 1 day of rest that scored 90 or less in a road dog and ats loss, vs an opponent that scored 120 or more as a home favorite like Dallas. The Dallas has lost the last 2 here and is 0-3 ats in the series of late. The Mavs have failed to cover 18 of the last 25 off 3+ wins. Charlotte is 8-1 straight up and ats at home after scoring 90 or less on the road in a loss and 12-3 ats at home if they were a dog in their last game. Look for Charlotte to keep it close and maybe spring the mild upset.
