The Dallas Mavericks will look to continue their dominance of the New York Knicks as the teams meet on Thursday night. The Mavericks have beaten the Knicks eight straight times in Dallas and 13 of the last 14 overall. New York has not won in Dallas since 1999. SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Mavericks at Home.
Dallas has been playing down to the level of their competition recently. They played poorly but won against Minnesota and Philadelphia last week but were routed on Sunday against Memphis. They played poorly again on Tuesday but got by the Clippers 107-102. "Terrible. We had a good lead and we let up," said Dirk Nowitzki, "They got whatever they wanted offensively. We couldn't get any stops."
Earlier this season the Knicks had the Mavericks on the ropes but let Dallas come back in the fourth quarter and lost 124-114 in overtime. Nowitzki had 39 points in that game and has averaged 25.3 points and 9 rebounds in his career against the Knicks.
"We're going to have to be a lot better on Thursday because New York is an improving team and they put a lot of pressure on you with their transition game and the 3," Dallas head coach Rick Carlisle said. "We're going to have to be better on Thursday."
The Knicks are coming off a 107-99 loss to Oklahoma City just a couple days after upsetting Boston 100-88. "It's a learning process, learning how to win two, four or 10 games in a row," New York head coach Mike D'Antoni said. "It's having that mentality that nothing else matters for the next two hours."
