The Knicks are six games behind the Boston Celtics, although it could have been fewer, given that they snapped an 8-game winning streak and their current situation has changed: they lost three games, which had an impact on their record and quest for postseason places in the East.
The concerning issue is that all three of those losses occurred at home, yet oddly, the Knicks play better on the road than at home. With a road record of 10 victories and 6 defeats, they are the NBA’s best away team behind Boston (11-5), and they will soon go on a mini-tour that may help them further close the gap on the competition.
One standout is Jalen Brunson, who never tires of dishing out assists. In the last 10 games, he has averaged 7.3 assists per game and is the offensive leader who often finds teammates in difficult situations. The Knicks have at last found their point guard.
Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- Season record: 18-16
- BetMGM Spread: (To be determined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (To be determined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (To be determined)
The Mavs, unlike the Knicks, have won three straight games, which is what has brought them so close to the front-runners. However, they can’t leave any more games on the road because they are only four games behind. The team from Dallas will have a tough opponent in this game, yet at home they are 13-5. It won’t be simple for the Knicks to beat them.
Luka Dončić is very inspired, as usual. He had 25 points, 9 rebounds, and 10 assists in the game against Minnesota. Meanwhile, against Houston, he had 50 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists. His final stat line against the Lakers was 32 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists.
Let’s take a look at his stats over the past 10 games: he has averaged 32.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 8.8 assists to give you an idea of how important he is to the squad. Although we may be exaggerating, Doncic certainly has the Mavs playing at a high level of competition.
JefeBet Prediction
A terrific home squad will come up against one of the best away teams. Normally, we would predict the Knicks to win, but since the Mavericks are coming in stronger and their current situation is very relevant, we at JefeBet think Dallas will prevail.
The Serbian star is the game’s determining factor; if he is in strong form, the Mavs win. Meanwhile, the Knicks will regress slightly further in the East.
Prediction: Dallas Mavericks Spread.
