While the Mavs have been hot the Knicks have lost 2 in a row and 8 of their last 10 games. They lost to the Hawks in their last game where Atlanta snapped an 8-game losing streak.
Carmelo Anthony had a big game against the Hawks going for 35 points, but he did not get much help. That has been the case lately, as in their last 10 games Melo has averaged 31.3 ppg while the next leading scorer in that span is Tim Hardaway Jr. averaging 11.9 ppg.
In the Atlanta game Melo shot over 50% from the floor, but as a team the Knicks only shot a FG% of 40.6%.
While Melo hs not gotten much help the same cannot be said about Dallas leading scorer Dirk Nowitzki. He is averaging 24.5 ppg in his last 12 games and in the win over the Pistons in Dallas’ last game every starter scored in double figures.
[ad-6571516]
The Knicks have won their last 2 home games against the Mavs and in the earlier meeting this season in Dallas they held Nowitzki to 18 points.
Besides Melo the Knicks have 4 other players averaging in double figures and those guys need to step up tonight and help out on the offensive side of the court.
