Mavericks vs. Knicks: Doncic and Randle Poised to Put on a Show
With both teams coming off impressive performances, the Dallas Mavericks and New York Knicks are primed to put on a show when they face off on Tuesday night.
The Dallas Mavericks and New York Knicks will battle it out Tuesday night at the American Airlines Center. Both teams have matching 18-16 records, but Dallas holds a 13-5 advantage at home while the Knicks are 10-6 on the road. Though the records may be the same, the Knicks have been the more advantageous side for bettors this season, going 18-15-1 against the spread compared to the Mavericks' 12-19-3 record.
The Mavericks are favored by 5 points in the latest odds from Caesars Sportsbook and the over/under is set at 219. This matchup could be a high-scoring affair, with Dallas' Luka Doncic and New York's Julius Randle both coming off impressive performances. Doncic is averaging 32.8 points per game and he has cleared 28.5 points nine times in his last twelve games, including a 50-point outburst against the Rockets on Friday. The star point guard has also surpassed 7.5 assists eight times in his last 10 games, averaging 8.9 per contest this season.
Randle has returned to his All-Star form from a few years ago and is averaging 23.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. He has surpassed 24.5 points eight times in his last 10 contests and the Mavericks don't have a big man capable of hanging with him defensively.
The Knicks have lost three straight games, while Dallas has won three in a row and the offense is finally looking more fluid after months of uninspiring play. The Mavericks blew New York out 121-100 in the teams' previous meeting earlier this month. The Knicks may be without Jalen Brunson (knee; questionable) for this matchup, and they need all the help they can get against Doncic.
For fantasy basketball purposes, Doncic and Randle are both must-start players. Doncic is firmly entrenched as a top fantasy asset, regardless of the format, and is among the league leaders in several offensive categories, including scoring and usage rate. Randle is also a valuable fantasy asset, and managers in daily leagues should monitor him closely.
Though the spread is close, the over/under suggests this could be a high-scoring affair. Doncic and Randle are both poised to put on a show, and the over seems like the safer pick.
