New York Knicks vs. Dallas Mavericks Preview

New York Knicks Preview

The New York Knicks (44-26) are flaunting grit in their bid to retain top-three positioning in the East.7. Though they are playing without their main playmaker, Jalen Brunson, who is recovering from a sprained ankle, which has sidelined him, the Knicks have continued to roll. They were led in scoring on Wednesday by Karl-Anthony Towns, who finished with 31 points and 11 rebounds, and Mikal Bridges, who added 27 points, in a 122-103 win over the Washington Wizards.

Also, the Knicks have others hurt, including Ariel Hukporti (knee) and Myles McBride (groin), which affects their defensive depth, as well. Guards Kem Payne and rookie Tyler Kolek will man the offense in Brunson's absence.

Knicks Starting Lineup: Payne, Kolek, Bridges, Towns, Robinson

Dallas Mavericks Preview

Now the Dallas Mavericks (34-37) are trying to claim one of those spots for themselves They recently snapped a four-game losing streak with a 123-117 victory over the Detroit Pistons, led by Spencer Dinwiddie’s season-high 31 points and P.J. Washington Jr.’s 27 points.

But as the Mavericks have major injury issues. Amid the carnage, Kyrie Irving (knee) is out for the year and prominent names like Daniel Gafford (knee), Dereck Lively (ankle), Dante Exum (hand) and Caleb Martin (thigh) continue to sit. Anthony Davis (hamstring) is day-to-day and doubtful.

Mavericks Starting Lineup: Dinwiddie, Green, Washington Jr., Kleber, Powell
