The New York Knicks will face a significant challenge on Wednesday night as they take on the defending NBA Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks. The highly anticipated game is set to tip-off at 7:30 p.m. ET at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, with coverage available on ESPN.
Current Records:
– New York Knicks: 10-7
– Dallas Mavericks: 10-8
The Knicks have been on a scoring spree, ranking fourth in the league with an impressive 119.1 points per game and second in field goal percentage at 50.4%. They have scored at least 130 points in three out of their last four games, highlighted by an electrifying 145-118 victory over the Denver Nuggets. In that game, stars OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Jalen Brunson combined for 93 points, showcasing their offensive firepower.
On the other hand, the Mavericks are gaining momentum after a rocky start, winning five out of their last six games while consistently scoring over 110 points. Kyrie Irving has stepped up as a crucial playmaker, particularly in their recent 119-109 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, where he scored 32 points. However, the team will be without top scorer Luka Doncic due to a wrist injury, placing more pressure on Irving to lead the Mavericks once again.
