I don't know how sever his ankle is right now, but the Mavs have a big game on Sunday. So odds are he probably will sit out.

Not to mention, the playoffs. Classic late season NBA situation, I liked NY a whole lot at 13.5. There's no way Dirk and Dallas will be trying to push this game into the upper double digits. It may happen of course, but it's not a 50% proposition.

Here's a quote from Isiah:

"I have said before, we are not going to cave," Knicks coach Isiah Thomas said. "We are going to keep fighting and keep competing. It may not be pretty. As long as we have five, we are going to go out, compete and play as hard as we possibly can."

I like taking teams with questionable character in games that don't mean much, they often shine in those situations. All these guys - Curry, Nate Robinson, etc etc, Isiah will have them all scrapping so they can come back to NY and say "see, we hung tough with the best team in the league - in their house. you see, sticking with Isiah was a good decision."
