Knicks at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 117, Mavs 109

Moneyline

PASS.

At -165, the odds are better on New York to cover the spread against this Mavericks team without its top player in Doncic.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -3.5 (-115).

New York has covered the spread in 5 straight games, including its last 2 on the road. It is 20-15-2 ATS this season and should extend that with a cover against these shorthanded Mavericks.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 233.5 (-110).

The Knicks have hit the Under in 7 of their last 10 games, including each of their last 5. The Mavs have also hit the Under in 7 of their last 10, including 4 of their last 5 and each of their last 2. Without their top scorer, the Mavs will be hard-pressed to score as much as they usually do, missing both the production and distribution that Doncic provides.
