The in-form New York Knicks will be away to the Dallas Mavericks for their next assignment in the NBA. New York comes into this game while sitting fifth in the Eastern Conference while Dallas is seventh in the West. The Mavericks are coming off a 120-103 loss at home to the Grizzlies. It was their 16th setback of the campaign and ended a run of three successive wins. Jason Kidd’s men, who are six games above .500, will seek an immediate response. There is a slight possibility however that up to five players could miss this match. Dallas, who possess the seventh-best ranked offence, has Derrick Lively, Grant Williams, Maxi Kleber, Dante Exum, and Luka Doncic on the injury report. Doncic and Exum will miss the game outright while the others are ‘Questionable’.

The Knicks are on a roll at the moment and arrive for this match having won five in a row. This is the longest current winning streak in the league and the Knicks’ best run this campaign. Tom Thibodeau’s men defeated Portland 112-84 last time out. They are now seven games above .500 and are one game clear of the Play-In places. New York only has Mitchell Robinson on its injury report and the centre has already been ruled out for the season. The Knicks are one of the better defensive sides in the league and should make it extremely difficult for Dallas with Doncic out. They are ranked seventh in defence and have held teams to an average of 93.7 points in the last three games.
