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 have been healthy throughout. The only loss of the Knicks came at Utah (121-106) surprisingly. New York will play its fourth game in seven days, so the Knicks have a bit of a rest advantage here in the first meeting of the season.

NBC Sports Betting Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Jalen Brunson to top 32.5 Points + Assists against the Mavericks:
“Jalen Brunson has been on quite a run lately as the Knicks’ primary ball handler. In the last seven games, Brunson has recorded seven or more assists each 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 have 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 possible 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 that’s a nationally televised game to keep the Knicks’ hot streak alive. I like Brunson Over 32.5 Points + Assists up to 33.5.”
