The Charlotte Hornets are winners of four in a row at home after putting a 125-100 beating on the Orlando Magic on Monday. "It was a good team effort tonight," star guard Kemba Walker told reporters after the win. "Everybody did a great job coming in and making some great contributions to this win. But you know, we've got to get more consistent still. We've been doing this all year. Go on the road, bad loss, come home, get a great win. It just can't be like that. We've got to get some type of consistency between us. We've got to get right."

The Hornets look good to pick up another easy win here, hosting a Dallas Mavericks side which has won only two of its last 10 games overall and took a 122-102 loss at OKC on New Year's Eve. The Mavs are just 2-16 SU (8-10 ATS) on the road this season, and I don't think they'll be able to keep it close here against a Charlotte team that is a solid 14-7 home at Spectrum Center.
