The Dallas Mavericks travel to face the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in the NBA on Thursday night. The hosts are 33-18 and fourth in the Eastern Conference, while the visitors are 28-23 and eighth in the Western Conference.
The Dallas Mavericks have found some rhythm lately, winning four of their last seven games overall, and they will be eyeing a third consecutive victory following their impressive 119-107 road triumph over the Nets on Tuesday. Kyrie Irving led the charge with 36 points and five assists, while Luka Doncic contributed 35 points along with 18 rebounds and nine assists. With an average of 118.2 points per game, the Mavericks now rank 10th in scoring offense, while the Knicks boast the second-best defense, allowing just 109.4 points per game in NBA action. Defensively, however, Dallas have struggled, conceding an average of 118.3 points per game, placing them 21st in the league. Interestingly, their defense has been more solid at home, where they allow 118.0 points per game compared to 118.6 points per game on the road. Dante Exum, Maximilian Kleber, and Dereck Lively are listed as doubtful for this upcoming match.
The New York Knicks have been red-hot, winning ten of their last 11 games overall, and they will be determined to maintain their winning streak following their 123-113 victory over the shorthanded Grizzlies on Tuesday. Donte DiVincenzo led the charge with 32 points on an impressive 12-of-18 shooting, while Jalen Brunson chipped in with 27 points and eight assists. Currently ranked 15th in scoring offense with 115.2 points per game, the Knicks face a Dallas team that sits 21st in points allowed per game at 118.3. Interestingly, New York tends to score slightly fewer points at home (114.6 per game) compared to away games (115.8). However, their standout attribute lies in their defense, which ranks as the second-best in the league this season. Unfortunately, Julius Randle is sidelined, while Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby are both questionable for the upcoming match.

Our New York Knicks vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
This is a bit of a strange one. The Knicks have been one of the most in-form sides in the NBA over the last month, yet they are listed as the underdog in this match. This suggests that Brunson could be out for this match, along with both Randle and Anunoby. The Mavericks, on the other hand, have both Doncic and Irving fit and firing, which is a major plus. This is one that you have to keep an eye on when the team sheets are released but based on our analysis, we’re backing Dallas to get the win the road.
