Dallas Mavericks vs NY Knicks Prediction
The NY Knicks are showing signs of coming together, as they’ve won 7 of their last 10 games. The Mavs are still without Luka, which is why this line is what it is. However, the Mavericks keep finding ways to win with victories in 5 of their last 6 games, and they can still light it up offensively. The Mavs are 6-3 SU at home. The Knicks have been hit or miss on the road. I still see value in the Mavs and the free points at home.
