Saturday, December 3rd finds the Dallas Mavericks playing the New York Knicks for the first of two scheduled contests. Dallas will host the second meeting on December 27th.
The Mavericks last played Thursday falling 125-131 in overtime to the Pistons while the Knicks lost 103-109 to the Bucks on Wednesday.
Last season, the teams played twice with the Knicks winning both contests, and have won the last three between the teams. The Mavericks hold the all-time record having bested the Knicks in 42 of their 82 matches.
Dallas Mavericks
Some are saying the Mavericks play down to their competition. Others (raises hand) pointed to their road woes and now that’s ballooned to a 1-8 road record where they’ll spend 14 of their next 24 matches.
Thursday the Mavs and Pistons were the only game on the docket. Luka Doncic was his typically great self, registering a double-double of 35 points and 10 assists, adding five rebounds, three steals, and connecting on 7 of 14 from deep but it wasn’t enough.
Doncic got some assistance from Tim Hardaway with 26 points as he was inserted as a starter and Christian Wood with 25 points and eight rebounds.
Spencer Dinwiddie had a less-than-productive night taking only two shots for two points and it begs the question if he’s looking over his shoulder at new addition Kemba Walker who is listed as questionable and could be motivated to show his old team they made a mistake.
The Mavericks score 110.1 points per game ranking 22nd overall while shooting 47.1% from the field and 34.8% from the perimeter ranking 15th and 18th respectively.
On defense, the Mavs rank sixth for opponent scoring allowing 108.7 points per game with foes shooting 48.1% from the field and 36.6% from the perimeter ranking 25th and 23rd respectively.
Two-Way contracted players Tyler Dorsey and McKinley Wright IV are on G-League assignment.
New York Knicks
Considering the Knicks were playing their second game in as many nights the fact they hung around and were in a tie game versus the Bucks with under a minute remaining speaks to their moxie.
Tom Thibodeau got some big performances from RJ Barrett who led the Knicks scoring (26 points) and Mitchell Robinson who held his own versus Brook Lopez delivering an impressive double-double of 15 points and 20 rebounds (11 offensive boards).
Offensively, the Knicks score 115.2 points per game (10th). New York shoots 45.6% from the field ranking 24th and 31.8% from the perimeter plummeting them to the basement with the 30th rank.
Defensively, the Knicks allow opponents to score 116.2 points per game (24th). New York allows their opponents to shoot 45.7% from the field and 35.3% from the perimeter ranking seventh and 12th respectively.
Ryan Arcidiacono (ankle) is questionable for Friday.

Free Dallas Mavericks vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction:
Both teams are desperate to get back above .500 with the Mavs wanting to switch their road momentum and the Knicks equally invested in changing their luck at MSG (4-6).
Neither team has been a safe ATS bet with Dallas 5-15-1 on the season while the Knicks are 9-11-2.
It’s the matinee tip-off that might equate to some sloppy play early and that actually favors the Mavericks who prefer to play at a slower pace.
On the other hand, if Jason Kidd’s staff are doing their homework they’ll discover the last matinee at the Garden led to the Knicks giving up 145 points (to the Thunder). Either way, I’m taking the Mavs to win and cover.
