New York Knicks
Could it be the Knicks have figured things out? They’ve won two games in a row playing with a similar effort to how they did last season with Julius Randle looking very much like the player who won the Most Improved Player award.
It’s been a rough year for Randle who has dealt with a love-hate relationship with his own fan base and hasn’t done himself any favors via actions like getting ejected from games and then refusing to go through the league-mandated process after the fact.
The latter incident occurred following an altercation he had with Cam Johnson of the Suns and because of his unwillingness to discuss the situation with the league combined with pushing an official he was fined $50k.
None of that temperament was on display in Sacramento as he delivered a career-best 46 points in the victory. Randle produced a double-double adding 10 rebounds plus two assists, a steal, a block, and hit eight 3-pointers of his 16 attempts.
RJ Barrett continued his hot streak scoring 29 points adding eight rebounds, and six assists. Immanuel Quickley had a big night off the bench scoring 27 with six rebounds, four assists, and a steal while Evan Fournier chipped in 15 as the other double-figure contributor.
Cam Reddish took a hard fall in the match versus the Kings hurting his shoulder he joins Quentin Grimes (knee), and Nerlens Noel (foot) all of whom were downgraded to out versus Dallas. Obi Toppin (hamstring) and Mitchell Robinson (illness) are questionable for Wednesday.
Derrick Rose (ankle) is out indefinitely while Kemba Walker was shut down for the season.
Dallas Mavericks
In a game that had seeding implications, the Mavericks sent a message to the Jazz via a win that pulls them within a half-game of taking over the fourth.
Luka Doncic led the way with a double-double of 35 points and 17 rebounds plus seven assists, three steals, and a block along with five 3-pointers.
Spencer Dinwiddie scored 23 points while Dorian Finney-Smith added 21 points while Dwight Powell scored 13 as the other double-figure contributor.
Dallas turned the Jazz over 14 times converting those miscues into 19 points winning that margin with just nine turnovers of their own for five points which was the difference in the game.
Frank Ntilikina (ankle) and Trey Burke (shoulder) are questionable while Marquese Chriss (knee) was downgraded to doubtful for Thursday versus Golden State. Theo Pinson (finger) and Tim Hardaway Jr.(foot) are out indefinitely.

Although the Knicks are playing better in these last two matches the Mavericks present a tougher challenge than either the Clippers or Kings so this should go the way of Dallas.
