We like the New York Knicks @ Dallas Mavericks to finish OVER the total on Wednesday at 7:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Even while winning, the Knicks really aren't playing much defense right now. Over the L7 games they are allowing an average 116.7 points per game.

Over the same span, they are averaging 126.3 points a game themselves.

The Knicks have now gone OVER the total in eight of their L11 games played away from home.

NYK have also seen the total go OVER in seven of their L9 games played versus teams from the Western Conference.

Dallas have seen the total go OVER in five games in a row now.

They are still without Luka, which are causing them to play faster than they normally would.

This one goes OVER the total as well.
