    I guess the Knicks are going to beat the Mavs

    Dallas only -2.5 at home? Books appear to be all over New York here. Tough game for the Mavs coming off the loss to OKC.

    Line must be factoring in the tough scheduling for the Mavs?


    Will Lin and Novak replicate what they did to Dallas last game?

    Every team gets up for Lin. Knicks only win if Lin is benched or plays minimal minutes. Plus Melo and Stat are back in the lineup, so the Knicks will lose more games than win.

    Dallas got beat by the Nets at home right after the ASG, so wouldn't be shocked to see Knicks win here. Also, wouldn't be shocked to see Dallas cover, which they should.

    D'Antoni will only start Lin for ceromonial purposes now, and Barron D. will play the majority of the minutes.

    without the fatigue factor, i would say dallas would easily cover 2.5 and possible up to 5. don't know how much of an effect the schedule has though considering the mavs are not that young a team.

    Opened at DAL -3.5 and is now down to DAL -2.5 with the public split on both sides.

    With the line dropping, might just take Dallas ML.

    Lin going to have another horrific day on defense tomorrow. Why? Because the first time around, the Mavs played without Beaubois. Beaubois' speed will torch Lin, unless they give Davis more minutes.

    Don't trust the Mavs? How about these Knicks who go down to both good and bad teams by close to 20 points in every game they play.

    Knicks are an automatic no bet for me. Only looking from the Dallas perspective. Was about to jump on Dallas -2.5, waiting for the complete lines before making a play. The only thing Dallas has done since losing to the Knicks, has been beating the 4 win road team in Jazz at home and now playing a rested team while 4 in 5. They seem to be out of sync in the 2nd half these days. 4 in 5 isn't going to help this. With this said may still jump on it.

    Remember back when the Knicks were absolute fade material before Lin came along? They are now back in that same place.

    linsanity has faded badly and is a shell of it's former self since the return of melo. if it wasn't for dallas' brutal schedule, i'd probably be all over the mavs for this game.

    3.5 for dallas at home sounds right to open, both teams are jekyl and hyde ant times. seems like a coin flip, like the under if anything or nyk first half

    It's the injuries for the Mavs. That's part of why the line is low.

    It's also their 6th game in 8 days. They've had three good performances at home at the end of a 4-in-5 stretch, but the only other time they played 6 in 8 they had their worst game of the season in San Antonio, losing 93-71.

    Linsanity will be dead completely if Knicks lose two in a row, right? Might want to see the refs line up before betting, guys.

    The Mavs should win this game. They are a good home team and Knicks can't even beat the washed up Celtics. Lin isn't the next Tony Parker like some believe. If the Mavs were -3.5 or -4 I'd hammer them. The line is the only thing holding me back

    I took the knicks+2 ever since Tyson chandler left the Mavs their interior defense has been shattered. Think about the matchups here guys melo will bust vc or shawn marions ass. Lin is a good matchup against Jkid and Novak will light it up tonight, let's face it the reason why new york lost to boston the other day was because the celtics are a solid team as well and rondo has been hot as of late, I mean come on, they would of won if it wsn't for Paul Pierce lucky ass shot. Oh yeah and the Mavs are playing b2b after a hard game last night old legs can't run with young fresh legs

    Problem with the Mavs is they will only have Ian Mahinmi as an actual center since Haywood and Wright who can play center are out.

    2.5 point move against the public. Is there a injury or is it big money coming in on the Knicks?
