Dallas is home for the Knicks on Wednesday in a late-night clash on ESPN. The Mavericks will be without Anthony Davis once again, and, at the time of writing, Cooper Flagg is questionable. The Knicks may or may not have Jalen Brunson, but even without the former Maverick, New York is much healthier and, frankly, better than Dallas. This will be an uphill battle for the Mavericks to even stay within reach, but Jason Kidd is good at getting his team up for games like this. We will find out if the Knicks talent or the Mavericks’ guts will prevail.

Tyler’s Plays
-
Mitchell Robinson to get a double-double (+900)
-
P.J. Washington over 16.5 points (-118)
The Knicks are a good team and the Mavericks haven’t beaten one of them yet. With Jalen Brunson expected to be back in the fold tonight, I expect the Knicks to lay a hammer down here. Beyond that, with the Mavericks still being limited due to Dereck Lively’s minute restriction, Mitchell Robinson should feast. PJ Washington continues to score the ball well, and whether Flagg plays or not, I like him to clear this.

David’s Plays
-
Landrey Shamet over 9.5 points (-122)
-
Jordan Clarkson over 12.5 points (-125)
The Knicks are going to kill Dallas. There’s no way to avoid it, they just have more talent and shooting. Shamet is going to get a lot of open looks, and Clarkson kills Dallas whenever he plays them. Keep it simple, no need to overthink these.
Squad Ride
-
Under 230.5 points (-108)
In an unprecedented turn of events, Tyler and I have decided to forego competition and align in our belief that the Knicks will win in a lopsided performance, resulting in a game total that goes under 230.5 points. Think 125-92, with New York as the victor.
