Our best bet is the play that we like the most for this game, which we would actually put some of our bankroll behind. One of the biggest recent revelations for Dallas has been its ability to shut down opposing teams, as the Mavs have held opponents to under points in six of their last seven games That will come in handy against a Knicks team that is Top 10 in the league in both threes attempted and 3-point percentage this season.
After an ugly stretch in early December where they lost seven of eight, the Knicks have been marginally better with an ledger over the past month. But looking at those wins doesn't exactly inspire confidence: two against Detroit second-worst team in NBA , one versus Houston last in the West , defeating a Minnesota team without its three best players and on a back-to-back , Atlanta without Trae Young, Indiana without six rotation players, San Antonio without six key players and at the end of a dreadful road trip , and Boston in a massive comeback where Evan Fournier miraculously scored more points in one game than he has the rest of January combined.
New York is still generally seeing its starters get outplayed with the current starting five Fournier, Alec Burks, R. With a massive edge in the starting five, a bench that at the worst will maintain the status quo, and a defense that is limiting threes, all signs point to Dallas winning its seventh straight game tonight — and covering as a road dog. In addition to only giving up triple digits once in its past seven games, Dallas hasn't exactly been lighting up the scoreboard itself, averaging just It comes as no surprise then that the Under has cashed in six of those seven games, with four of them falling short of tonight's total.
The Knicks have also been a strong Under play, going to the Under in their last nine and not giving up more than points in eight of those games, while also averaging just These teams play at the two slowest paces in the NBA this season Dallas 29th, New York 30th and it's been no different in , with the Knicks still dead last and Dallas making great leaps up to the sixth-slowest.
With neither side particularly keen on running and gunning, and a 3-point barrage also not likely in the cards, we'll bank on a low-scoring affair tonight. We mentioned above how Dallas' recent ability to limit opponent 3-point shooting is going to really hurt the Knicks. Well, let's dive a little deeper into that, shall we? Currently, The 'Bockers have been slightly more varied as of late, with just So, the Knicks have substituted 3-pointers for less valuable and only slightly less difficult shots.
Not exactly an effective or efficient approach. New York also does a poor job of moving the ball, with the league's third-lowest assist percentage on the season and second-lowest since began. Considering the Knicks play at a snail's pace and Dallas not much quicker , possessions will be limited for New York tonight.
And with a chunk of the offense going to isolation plays leading to either threes or long twos — against a Mavs defense that has been making opponents struggle from the field — we don't see the home side cracking tonight Use our NBA parlay calculator to create your own parlays and see their potential payouts.
