00:03 A five game win streak for the New York Knicks entering last night in Dallas.

00:07 And the Knicks were booked as a four point road favorite.

00:10 Why?

00:10 Luka Doncic not out there for Dallas.

00:13 Two other starters got the night off as well.

00:16 But Kyrie Irving and Tim Hardaway Jr.

00:18 making only his fifth start of the year pick up the slack.

00:21 In snap, the five game win streak for the New York Knicks with OG and

00:26 Adobe in the lineup for all five of those games.

00:29 The Mavericks winning outright as a four point home underdog by four, 128-124.

00:35 Dallas started this year, Donnie, just two and

00:37 eight against the number as an underdog.

00:39 They have now covered in their last five games as a dog, make that seven and

00:43 eight ATS.

00:44 And in four of those five games in which they have covered,

00:48 they have won outright as they did last night.

00:49 >> Yeah, if you would have told me the New York Knicks were gonna go on the road

00:53 last night and get 32 out of Julius Randle and 30 points out of Jalen Brunson,

00:57 I'd say yeah, it's exactly what we expected.

00:59 An easy Knicks victory without Luka Doncic for the Dallas Mavericks.

01:02 But you need other guys to step up, which include your other superstar on the team,

01:06 which was obviously Kyrie Irving with 44 points last night.

01:08 We still got 32 out of Tim Hardaway Jr.,

01:11 tremendous guys stepping up in the moment.

01:13 I didn't see this coming.

01:14 As I said, I thought the Knicks would win this game.

01:16 And they did get great performances out of their superstar players and

01:19 still lost, case in point.

01:21 It's hard to win on the road, Ben, it really is.

01:23 >> It certainly is, 32 points for Randle, 30 and

01:27 eight, Jalen Brunson has really picked it up in terms of the facilitation.

01:30 But when Kyrie Irving scores 44 points and has 10 dives of himself and

01:35 Tim Hardaway Jr., 32 points for Dallas, it's pretty difficult to win

01:40 that basketball game.

01:41 The Knicks had covered in all five of their consecutive wins,

01:44 three as the favored side.

01:46 All five of those games under, last night they don't win, they don't cover,

01:49 and the game goes over the total as well.

01:52 The New York Knicks, though, still 13 and

01:54 seven against the spread as the favored side this year.
