Dallas Mavericks vs New York Knicks preview

The Mavericks got a boost in their playoff push with the return of Anthony Davis in the lineup for Monday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets. Davis, who missed 26 straight games with an adductor injury, had 12 points in 27 minutes as the Mavs won 120-101.

Dallas is tied with the Phoenix Suns for the 10th spot but is behind them due to their head-to-head record. Naji Marshall led the team with 22 points in Monday’s win. Davis is listed as day-to-day for Tuesday’s game. It is very unlikely that he plays the second leg of a back-to-back.

The Knicks are dealing with their own injury concerns and continue to be without Jalen Brunson. He has missed eight straight games with an ankle injury and is not expected to return to the lineup until early April.

New York is just 4-6 over the past 10 games but is coming off a 122-103 win against the Washington Wizards on Saturday. Karl-Anthony Towns led the team with 31 points and 11 rebounds, while Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby had 27 and 23 points, respectively.

Dallas Mavericks vs New York Knicks betting props

Klay Thompson’s points total is set at 14.5. He had just eight points on Monday and should have a bounceback game against New York. Take a risk and bet on the over.

KAT’s points total is set at 28.5. He crossed that mark in three of the past five games and should be able to do so against Dallas as well. Bet on the over.

Dallas Mavericks vs New York Knicks prediction

The oddsmakers favor the Knicks to get a win at home. With Anthony Davis’ participation questionable, we expect the same. New York should cover the spread for a win in a game where the team total goes past 225 points.
