• New York, however, heads into this matchup in high spirits, winning and covering the spread in three of their past four road games.
• This will be the first of two matchups between the Mavericks and the Knicks this season, with the former having won all of their encounters last year.

Will the Knicks capitalize Doncic’s absence and score its first victory over the Mavericks since 2022 or will Kyrie Irving and company overcome the odds and play spoilers?

Why will the Dallas Mavericks cover the spread?

Missing Luka Doncic and Klay Thompson on Monday, the Dallas Mavericks remained calm under tremendous pressure as they beat the Atlanta Hawks 129-119 to record its fifth win in six games.

• Six Mavericks players scored in double-figures led by crafty guard Kyrie Irving who recorded an impressive all-around effort of 32 points, seven rebounds, and six assists while converting 46.2% of his shots from downtown.
• Also remarkable was spitfire guard Jaden Hardy who exploded for 23 points while forward Naji Marshall registered his third consecutive game with 20 points or more, finishing with 22 points and six rebounds.
• Dallas also got a major lift from their reserves, with their bench recording a combined total of 39 points.

With Dallas getting massive offensive production from Irving and several of its key players, backing the home team to cover the spread against the New York Knicks at home is something worth considering.

While the Knicks are seemingly unbeatable right now winning five of their last six, it is worth noting that they did lose ugly to a bottom-feeder Utah Jazz squad over the weekend.

For the Mavericks to cover the spread here though, they will need another big game from their key players, particularly Marshall.

• Luckily for the Mavericks, Marshall has delivered the goods in the past three averaging a remarkable 22.7 points and four rebounds in just 28 minutes of action.

Should Marshall continue to heat up and the Mavericks control the rebounds while getting the usual production from Irving and the other guys, the spread on the home team might be too good to pass up even without Doncic.

Why will the New York Knicks cover the spread?

After suffering an embarrassing 121-106 loss to the Utah Jazz over the weekend, the New York Knicks rebounded in style with a 145-118 demolition of the Denver Nuggets.

Forward OG Anunoby exploded for a career-high 40 points while Karl Anthony-Towns added a monster double-double of 30 points and 15 rebounds to help the Knicks score its 10th victory of the season.

New York aims to extend its winning streak as they take on a short-handed Dallas Mavericks team in the penultimate match of their five-game road trip and from looks of it, they might be able to do so here.

• Winners of six of their last eight, the Knicks have won three of their past four road games by an average margin of 18.3 points.
• If that’s not good enough, New York has also displayed excellent shooting from different areas of the floor during the current road trip, converting 45% of their shots from downtown and 53% from the field.
• Even more impressive is the crisp Knicks ball movement which was in full display against the Nuggets where they recorded 45 assists while turning the ball over just nine times.

With Luka Doncic out and Klay Thompson not at 100%, backing the Knicks to cover the spread and score its first win over the Mavericks since 2022 might be a great play here.

One thing that the Knicks have to be wary of here is Naji Marshall and Kyrie Irving who has been shooting the lights out for the Mavericks ever since Doncic’s absence.

Rebounding is another thing that the Knicks have to keep an eye on as they are taking on a Mavericks team which currently ranks ninth in the league in most boards per game.

Should New York find a way to control the boards and contain Dallas’ offensive triumvirate of Irving, Marshall, and possibly Thompson, backing the road team to score its third win in their current road trip can be a good play here.

Final Dallas Mavericks vs New York Knicks NBA Prediction: New York Knicks -4 (-110)

After a see-saw start to the season, the New York Knicks have seemingly found its winning groove as evident by their showing in the past six games.

Unless something catastrophic happens, that should continue here as they are taking on a wounded and battered Dallas Mavericks squad that has been hit or miss this season as far as covering the spread is concerned.

For context, the Mavericks have only covered the spread nine times in their 18 total games this season.
