The current betting odds have the Mavericks listed as a 1 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mavericks have looked good in their games this season with their 22-16 record overall and they have been trying to climb up the standings in the West lately. They are only 11-8 in their home games this season and they lost their last game to the Grizzlies too, but they will be looking to bounce back on their home court now that they are getting healthier with Kyrie back in the lineup too. Meanwhile, the Knicks have also looked good in their games this season with their 22-15 record overall which has them climbing the standings in the East, but they haven't looked as good in their road games with their 11-11 road record. They are entering this game on a 5 game winning streak as they have been really hot since trading away RJ Barrett for OG Anunoby, but this is going to be a really tough road game for them to win and they are due for a loss too. The Mavericks will be looking to bounce back and now that they have Kyrie Irving back healthy, they will find their groove once again as they try to climb the standings in the West. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mavericks to cover the spread in this game.

“He’s made a great contribution, not just with defense, but moving without the ball, getting the ball up the floor fast, his shot-making, and it’s only going to get better as we go.” - Tom Thibodeau after his team’s win against the Trail Blazers in their game on Tuesday.

“He was great tonight. He came out to show that he could beat us by himself without Ja or Jackson. Their offensive rebounds — 18 — that’s way too many. Their physicality was too much for us. They came out, and they were assertive right off the bat. That put us in a hole, and we were playing uphill from there.” - Jason Kidd on Desmond Bane after his team’s loss against the Grizzlies in their game on Tuesday.
