New York Knicks vs Dallas Mavericks prediction

The New York Knicks have been a different team since the addition of OG Anunoby, and they've had a lot of practice on the road already, with 22 road games under their belt. The Mavs are banged up as Luka and Dante Exum have been ruled out, while Grant Williams is questionable and Dereck Lively II is doubtful. The New York Knicks have won and covered each of their last 5 games. Hard to get behind the Mavericks with so many injuries. I'll lay the chalk with the Knicks.
