The Dallas Mavericks continue their road trip with a matchup against the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden. Dallas will be playing on the second night of a back-to-back, while the Knicks haven't played since Saturday, so they should have the fresher legs in this game.
The Mavs beat the Brooklyn Nets 120-101 on Monday night, as Anthony Davis returned to action and had a solid outing. It was a good showing for most Mavs, though, with seven total Mavericks scoring in double-figures, led by Naji Marshall's 22 points. They also dominated on turnovers, taking 18 Brooklyn turnovers and making that 31 points on the other end.
New York beat the Wizards 122-103 on Saturday as Karl-Anthony Towns poured in 31 points, going 10/13 from the free-throw line. Mikal Bridges wasn't too far behind with 27 points. They've been playing without Jalen Brunson since March 6th, who is out for this game with a sprained ankle and have gone 4-4 without him as they hope to secure first-round homecourt advantage in the playoffs.
The Mavericks won the first meeting between these teams in Dallas 129-114, but Kyrie Irving won't be able to have 23 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds like he did in that game after tearing his ACL a few weeks ago.
