SCORE: 6

My model favors the Knicks. The Knicks are coming off of a road win, you would think they would be tired… The recent addition of Derrick Rose, regardless of an injury to Mitch, brings Austin Rivers back from the 10-12 man role. In a nutshell, the Knicks are deep and only Julius Randle clocked in major minutes last night at 32, which is still under his average. With the spread differential at one pt, this is the perfect grind it out game for a Tom Thibodeau defense oriented team. Take the knickerbockers for the win.

My model favors the Mavericks. The Pelicans led by Zion are too inconsistent. I think Zion has another big game tonight but the rest of the team will be subpar. Dallas is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 home games, but that losing streak ends tonight. I wish Dallas would have kept Seth Curry, but Josh Richardson will eventually hit more 3’s and others will chip in to make up for it. Lay the points.

My model favors the Spurs. Dejounte Murray… does he or does he not play, his last game was Wed, so three days should be enough time to rest and recover. All signs point to him suiting up this evening. Djounte and Demar will both have big games. Down to the wire but the pesky Spurs win this one.
