Dallas looks to avenge their 23-point loss at Madison Square Garden from earlier this season as they host the New York Knicks tonight. I’ve prepared a same game parlay which is available below.
Don’t forget to check our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Wednesday’s 12-game slate, including ESPN’s double-header!
Let’s jump into it.
Julius Randle to score 30+ points (+300)
Luka Doncic to score 40+ points (+285)
Parlay odds: +1431
Julius Randle to score 30+ points (+300)
Randle has had some spectacular performances lately. He’s coming off a 46-point night at Sacramento where he made 18 of 31 shots and more impressively 8 of 16 attempts from three-point land. He went to the line just 2 times which makes the performance even more special. He’s averaging almost 25 points per game in his last 10 outings. Against the Mavericks, he had just 17 points earlier this season, but in the game before that, he dropped a cool 44 against them on the road.
If the Knicks want to stand a chance at pulling off another upset here, Randle will have to play big for them. Dallas’ style of play suits him offensively — the Mavs rank only 18th in opponent points per game in the paint, giving up 47.3 per game. In their last 3, that number has jumped up to 54.7, so I’m expecting Randle to spend a lot of time in the paint here and bully his way to another 30-point performance.

Luka Doncic to score 40+ points (+285)
Seeing so many special individual performances around the NBA these past 5 days or so, it’s only natural to think Doncic could have one of those types of games tonight. Luka has been on a tear offensively, averaging 36 points per game over his last 9 outings. His three-ball has been going in at a 40.2% rate and from the field he’s shooting 47% as well.
Doncic didn’t have the best of games against the Knicks earlier this season, finishing with just 21 points, and that’ll definitely be on his mind ahead of tonight’s game as he looks to make amends in front of the home faithful. In his last 2 games, he has scored 35 against the Jazz and 41 against the Warriors. I think we can all agree that both of those teams are way better than the Knicks are defensively. In 4 of their last 5 games, the Knicks have given up 115, 115, 123 and 125 points, so hopefully Doncic can do some damage here.
