The Mavericks stock is just much too high here and this is the exact type of team that the Knicks have success of beating. The Knicks have been an awful team this year but over their last 9 home games they have only lost 1 of them by more than 5 points and that was to the Miami Heat. I expect a hard fought game by the Knicks as they are still trying to get that 8th playoff seed and after back to back losses they should be hungry to play hard coming off a difficult road trip.

For the Mavericks this is their 3rd road game in 4 days for an aging jump shooting team that plays little defense. Dallas is the 5th worst in FG % defense and I don't see it getting any better in this game. I expect them to struggle as they are probably a little complacent from just winning back to back road games. I'll take the Knicks tonight on the money line to win a big game with their offense.
