Dallas Mavericks Vs New York Knicks Game Day Preview
The Dallas Mavericks and Luka Doncic face the New York Knicks and Julius Randle on Friday night.
Dallas Mavericks
As we know, Luka Doncic is a true star in the NBA, leading the Mavericks in what seems like every category. The 22-year-old is averaging 28.7 PPG (4th), 8.1 RPG (20th), and 8.9 APG (4th) in his second NBA season. Doncic is even coming off a 36 point performance, where Dallas beat Boston 113-108.
While the spotlight is always over Doncic, let’s not forget about Kristaps Porzingis, the 7’3″ big man out of Latvia. In 30 games played this season, Porzingis is averaging 20.4 PPG and 8.9 RPG.
The Mavericks have won their last two games (Celtics and Thunder), and look to extend their streak against an underrated Knicks team.
New York Knicks
As most know, the Knicks have been the most surprising team this season, sitting at 24-24, 5th in the East. But can they keep this up?
Lead by Julius Randle, who is averaging 23.1 PPG, 10.8 RPG, and 5.8 APG, the Knicks have been really good. New York leads the entire NBA in points allowed with 104.5 (1st), proving why they are possibly the best defensive team in the association. The Knicks also lead the NBA in fewest field goals allowed per game (37.6), lowest FG% allowed (44.2%), and lowest 3P% allowed (33.6%).
After losing two straight games (Timberwolves and Heat), the Knicks look to get back on track, even with Derrick Rose, RJ Barrett, Mitchell Robinson, and Reggie Bullock all on the injury reporty.
