The New York Knicks will welcome the Dallas Mavericks in a regular-season clash on Monday. The Knicks, otherwise, a strong team this season, are currently going through a slump, and have lost three games consecutively. They have occupied the third spot in the East, and are 25-17 in the season. On the other hand, the Mavs are 12th in the West, and they are coming off two consecutive victories.
The Knicks are 10-point favorites to come on top and put an end to their losing skid. The moneyline is at -430, while the total lies around 229.5 points. We have gotten our Best Bet, a same-game parlay and a few player props for the Knicks vs Mavs scheduled on Monday.
Here’s how we are betting New York Knicks vs Dallas Mavericks.
Best Bet: New York Knicks -10 (-110)
Book: Best price at FanDuel
Our best bet for New York Knicks vs Dallas Mavericks is New York Knicks -10 (-110).
The New York Knicks are going through a poor form, and have been able to win only two of their last ten games. However, they have established themselves as a strong team with a strong record. They are 16-5 at home, and maintain an offensive rating of 119.8. Though they are far below the Mavericks in terms of defense, their overall form and offensive edge gives them an upper hand.
The line at -10 fit the Knicks considering their homecourt domination as well as one of the best offensive ratings that they maintain.
Considering their record at home, elite offense and overall record, we are laying New York Knicks -10 (-110) as our Best Bet, and expect the hosts to cover the number tonight.
3-Leg SGP (Safer)
Combined odds: +744
We have built this same-game parlay around the New York Knicks recording a big win at home, and ending their three-game losing skid. Brunson is the leading scorer, and Towns follows him. We expect them to once again take charge and score big for their team to push them beyond the victory line.
These legs are correlated, considering that if the Knicks dominate their rivals at home, their stars get volume and they fill the statsheet. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.

Given how prop-heavy NBA betting is, we are also eyeing these player props for Knicks vs Mavs on Monday.
These picks fit well into usage. Flagg, who missed the last two games due to a left ankle sprain, has been listed as questionable for the Mavs. If he plays, he is expected to take advantage of the Knicks’ poor defense and drop points to keep the team going. Marshall is also someone who the Mavs can rely upon to score. Towns dominates the glass, and is most likely to do it again.
