Mavericks vs. Knicks Odds
Game Preview
Cooper Flagg is a game-time decision for this one, though many believe he will appear in Madison this Monday night. He missed back-to-back wins at home over the Utah Jazz, 144-122 and 138-120.
Though Klay Thompson found a youth fountain somewhere, scoring 49 points in these two events, 26 in the first and 23 in the second, breaking the 17,000-point mark.
Jalen Brunson is still out, and it appears that the fantastic guard won’t be available for this event, either. His Knicks have 3 losses in a row, the most recent at home vs. Suns, 106-99.
KAT had 23 points and 11 boards, while Anunoby and McBride added 21 and 23, respectively. The reason for this defeat was the bench, and its terrible scoring – 14 points in total.
Mavericks vs. Knicks Betting Trends
- TOTAL went in 6 of Dallas’ last 9 games.
- Dallas is 0-10 ATS on the road.
- The Knicks are 3-14 ATS in the last 17 events.
- NYK is 2-8 in the previous 10 contests.
Mavericks vs. Knicks Head to Head
The Knicks won the first game of the year in Dallas, 113-111.
Mavericks vs. Knicks Predictions
Dallas is an underdog here, and that’s understandable, but the Knicks aren’t playing well either, and without Brunson, they are very limited in certain areas. Though the Mavs have several other plays absent, and when counting that and the home-court edge the Knicks have, we pick the hosts to triumph.
