Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The Mavericks are 6.5-point favorites at -121.
Dallas has lost two of its last three games but is facing the 30th-place team in the NBA. New York is 5-6 ATS which is better than Dallas’ 4-6 mark. New York has failed to cover by 5.0 points per game. This is one to AVOID.
Over/Under (O/U)
The projected total is set at 216.5. It seems like a somewhat high number and Dallas and New York could struggle a little bit offensively in this game. The Knicks have dropped under 100 points per game which is even more telling.
New York beat Dallas in the first matchup 106-102 on November 8th.
Take the UNDER (+105).
