The New York Knicks (10-12) will host Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks (10-11) in a Saturday afternoon game at Madison Square Garden. The latest odds favor Luka Doncic’s squad.

The game will be especially important to Jalen Brunson, who will get to go up against his former team for the first time. He’s already shown that he’s worth the four-year, $104 million free agency contract that he got from the Knicks and is averaging a team-high 23.2 points.

Without Brunson, the Mavericks have been off to a shaky start after making it to the Western Conference Finals last season. Doncic is playing at an MVP level and is averaging a league-best 33.6 points per game, and even then, Dallas still lost five of its last six games. On Thursday night, the Mavericks lost in overtime to the Pistons (the No. 14 team in the East).

New York has lost six of its last seven games at home and needs a win before hosting Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.

Will Jalen Brunson lead the Knicks to a win over his former team? Or will Luka Doncic be too much for New York to handle?

New York Knicks vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction

Although Jalen Brunson said that this will be just another game for him, it feels like he’s going to put on a show this afternoon. Luka Doncic will be a problem for New York’s defense, but even the 35 points that he had against Detroit weren’t enough to secure the win for Dallas. Given how the Mavericks have been playing, this is a very winnable game for the Knicks.
