Knicks vs. Mavericks Predictions for NBA on ESPN, 11/19

What was once a potential NBA Finals preview when the Mavs had Luka Doncic and a healthy Kyrie Irving is anything but nowadays. That’s not to bash Anthony Davis, but he’s as injury-prone as it gets, and we now see Dallas sitting at just 4-11 on the season. However, AD isn’t the only injury-prone guy who affects Knicks vs. Mavericks predictions.

New York’s Jalen Brunson has re-injured the same ankle that gave him issues last season (he’s questionable for tonight), and OG Anunoby is out for sure. Even with those factors AND being on the road, the Knicks vs. Mavericks odds still have New York quite clearly favored. Seeing how those lines shift will indicate the expectations regarding Jalen Brunson.

Even with 100% confirmation one way or the other, we still have a spot that we like that is focused on their side of the game. So, let’s get right into the best bet from our Knicks vs. Mavericks predictions.

 

 

 

Knicks vs. Mavericks Best Bet: New York Team Total Over 116.5 Points (-113 at Novig)

Obviously, we’ll love this pick even more if we see Jalen Brunson take the court - he’s averaging 28 points per game. However, Dallas simply hasn’t been able to stop any team, one with superstar scorers or not. As much hope as there is for the future of Cooper Flagg, they simply can’t stop anybody right now.

They’ve allowed more points per game than this team total all season, but it’s been much worse as of late. Dallas has allowed 116+ points in each of their last five games, with two of those being 133 or more. New York can exploit that, as they’ve scored the seventh-most points per game this season, helping bettors with more than just Knicks vs. Mavericks predictions.

This number suggests that Jalen Brunson should be good to go after taking off the past two games to heal, and even in those games without him, they scored 140 and 113 points. Outside of Mitch Robinson, we could see multiple leading scorers from Karl-Anthony Towns to Mikal Bridges and even Miles McBride.

We’d prefer Jalen Brunson to take the court; either way, we have New York’s team total over 116.5 points (-113 at Novig) as the best bet from our Knicks vs. Mavericks predictions.
