In their last game on November 4th against the Indiana Pacers, Charlotte showcased an impressive offensive display, securing a narrow victory with a score of 125-124. The team's scoring was consistent across all quarters, and they demonstrated remarkable efficiency from both the field (53 percent) and free-throw line (100 percent). Their ability to maintain a lead for over 22 minutes of gameplay was crucial in this high-scoring affair.


The Hornets' bench contributed significantly with 27 points, indicating depth that could be pivotal against Dallas. Additionally, their defense racked up 10 blocks and managed to draw fouls effectively. However, it's worth noting that despite these positives, their defensive rating was slightly concerning at just over 119 points per possession.


Looking back further to their game on November 2nd versus the Houston Rockets reveals some areas for improvement. Although they lost with a score of 119-128, there were positive takeaways such as bench production and fast break efficiency (67 percent). Yet turnovers were an issue; committing 16 can be detrimental against a team like Dallas that knows how to capitalize on mistakes.


The Mavericks will undoubtedly pose challenges for Charlotte. In comparison during their previous games around similar dates as those of CHA's matches mentioned earlier – though not provided in detail here – DAL has shown they can be formidable opponents particularly when playing at home.


For CHA fans hoping for another win following their tight victory over Indiana Pacers should expect an intense battle where every possession counts. The key will likely lie in maintaining offensive consistency while tightening up defensively to reduce opponents' scoring opportunities.


The scheduled tip-off is set for November 6th at American Airlines Center in Dallas at what would correspond to local time of approximately 7:30 PM EST (00:30 AM UTC). Fans eager not to miss any action can catch live coverage through broadcast networks BSSW or BSSE depending on location.
