Free New York Knicks vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Prediction:
Keep a close eye on the status of Jalen Brunson coming into this one. If he plays, it’s his Dallas homecoming, and I’d expect him to really lead the way for the Knicks.
Without him, New York could find itself playing at the Mavericks’ pace and struggling to combat Luka Doncic’s production, since, to be honest, stopping him doesn’t seem like an option.
If Brunson is out, give this one to the Mavs both straight up and against the spread.
