Knicks Vs Mavericks Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, Projected Starting Lineup, Betting Trends And Stats

New York and Dallas meet on ESPN as Jalen Brunson and Kyrie Irving headline this matchup.

Dallas іs 10-8 оn the year and has won five оf the past six games despite dealing with injuries tо Luka Doncic, Klay Thompson, and Dereck Lively. Thompson and Lively are expected tо play, but Doncic іs out for a fourth-straight game. The Mavericks are 2-1 іn the last three games with an OT loss tо the Heat (123-118) іn Miami. This іs the fourth game іn six days for Dallas.

New York іs 10-7 and has won five оf the previous six games, but unlike Dallas, they’ve been healthy throughout. The Knicks lone loss came at Utah (121-106) іn surprising fashion.

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Jalen Brunson to go Over 32.5 Points + Assists against the Mavericks:

“Jalen Brunson has been оn quite the run recently as the Knicks’ primary ball-handler. In the last seven games, Brunson has recorded seven оr more assists every game and scored at least 23 points іn six оf those contests. During this run, Brunson has averaged 25.8 points and 10.1 assists per game (35.9 P+A).

In the last three games without Luka Doncic, the Mavericks allowed 120.7 points per game (25th), 30.7 assists per game (25th), 24.0 free-throw attempts (25th), and 37.6% from three (22nd). Brunson has averaged 20.3 potential assists and 18.0 field goal attempts per game іn his last three outings.

With or without Donic, Dallas hasn’t played good defense this season and I don’t expect it to start here. Brunson used to play Dallas and this is a nationally televised game to keep the Knicks’ hot streak alive. I like Brunson Over 32.5 Points + Assists up to 33.5.”
