Taking a look at the recent performance of the Charlotte Hornets, the bet on them to score under 132.5 points against the Dallas Mavericks seems to be a solid choice. The Hornets' scoring hasn't exactly been lighting up the scoreboard lately, with an average of just 102.8 points over their last five games, and just a smidgen more at home with 103.6 points. Add to this, their recent home record of 1-4, which doesn't inspire much confidence in a high-scoring output. Furthermore, against the Mavericks, whose defense has been holding teams to an average of 115.2 points, the likelihood of the Hornets surpassing the 132.5 point mark appears quite slim. The model prediction of 104.66 further cements this bet, suggesting a considerable cushion before reaching the stipulated total. Considering all these factors, there's a strong case here for the Hornets to score under 132.5 points in this matchup.
