BETTING TRENDS
New York are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games.
New York are 4-12 SU in their last 16 games on the road.
Dallas are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games.
Dallas are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games at home.
Prediction
The Knicks have averaged 120 points in their last 3 games and are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games on the road. The Mavericks are the better team here but they have covered only 2 of 7 times when the spread was -6 to -9, so I'm not sure if we should trust them to cover. I think the total has been set to low, I know the last game between these two went under but both teams have been involved in high scoring games lately. Take the Over.
PICK: Over 215.5 (-110)
