Knicks at Mavericks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 125, Mavericks 121
Moneyline
PASS.
I like the Knicks to win here thanks to their lethal offense and the absence of Doncic. However, the Knicks are not worth the risk of betting on as -185 favorites, so I recommend passing here and betting on the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
LEAN MAVERICKS +4.5 (-115).
Dallas has covered the spread in 5 of its last 6 games and is 2-0 ATS in its last 2 home games. The Mavericks are also 2-0 ATS in the last 2 matchups against the Knicks, being 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings between the squads.
Over/Under
BET OVER 233.5 (-110).
The Over has hit in 3 straight Dallas games and is 4-1 in its last 5. The Over is also 6-2-1 in Dallas’ last 10 games.
For New York, the Over is 3-1 in its last 4 games and 6-3 in its last 9 overall.
The Over has also hit in the last 3 New York-Dallas matchups.
