New York and Dallas meet on ESPN as Jalen Brunson and Kyrie Irving headline this matchup.
Dallas is 10-8 on the year and has won five of the past six games despite dealing with injuries to Luka Doncic, Klay Thompson, and Dereck Lively. Thompson and Lively are expected to play, but Doncic is out for a fourth-straight game. The Mavericks are 2-1 in the last three games with an OT loss to the Heat (123-118) in Miami. This is the fourth game in six days for Dallas.
New York is 10-7 and has won five of the previous six games, but unlike Dallas, they’ve been healthy throughout. The Knicks lone loss came at Utah (121-106) in surprising fashion. New York will play its fourth game in seven days, so the Knicks have a slight rest advantage here in the first meeting of the season.
With that said, let’s dive into the matchup and offer some information and possibly a sweat or two.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Jalen Brunson to go Over 32.5 Points + Assists against the Mavericks:
“Jalen Brunson has been on quite the run recently as the Knicks’ primary ball-handler. In the last seven games, Brunson has recorded seven or more assists every game and scored at least 23 points in six of those contests. During this run, Brunson has averaged 25.8 points and 10.1 assists per game (35.9 P+A).
In the last three games without Luka Doncic, the Mavericks allowed 120.7 points per game (25th), 30.7 assists per game (25th), 24.0 free-throw attempts (25th), and 37.6% from three (22nd). Brunson has averaged 20.3 potential assists and 18.0 field goal attempts per game in his last three outings.
With or without Donic, Dallas hasn’t played good defense this season and I don’t expect it to start here. Brunson used to play Dallas and this is a nationally televised game to keep the Knicks’ hot streak alive. I like Brunson Over 32.5 Points + Assists up to 33.5.”
Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Knicks and the Mavericks:
