NBA betting odds have the Dallas Mavericks favored on the road Sunday as the take on the Knicks in New York. The Mavericks have won 9 of the last 10 meetings between the two teams according to basketball betting numbers.
NBA gamblers have some interesting trends to consider in this matchup. The Mavericks have covered 7 of the last 10 meetings between the two teams according to basketball betting stats. At New York, the Mavericks are 4-1 straight up and against the NBA wagering pointspread in the last five meetings against the Knicks. Last year the Mavericks won 99-89 at New York according to NBA handicapping numbers.
Four of the last five meetings between the two teams have gone under the NBA wagering total. That includes both games last year. Although the last two games at New York went under the NBA betting total, the previous three all went over. It was thought before the season began that the Knicks would be a great over team because of new head coach Mike D’Antoni. That has not been the case though. Basketball betting gamblers overreacted to the preseason and the totals have been coming down. In NBA gaming it oftentimes takes gamblers and oddsmakers a while to adjust. The Knicks may not be the automatic over team in NBA action that people believed. It is still too early to make that judgment but the early basketball betting results show the public and the oddsmakers overreacted on New York totals. The Knicks just don’t have the roster to consistently run up and down the court. Zach Randolph leads the team in scoring and Chris Duhon leads the team in assists.
The Mavericks have been a bit up and down this season in NBA betting. They still have Dirk Nowitzki who can impact a game at any moment but Jason Kidd looks old and Josh Howard is as inconsistent as can be. It has been tough for NBA betting gamblers to get a read on the Mavericks.
