Linsanity
What the Knicks have done since Jeremy Lin has moved into the starting lineup is nothing short of amazing. This New York team was written off as a team that would not make the playoffs even though they have Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire. The Knicks were out of sorts and an unorganized mess. Now with Lin in the lineup they are a cohesive machine that is winning and covering games. Everyone in the league is taking notice including other players. Dallas forward Brandan Wright played with Lin at Golden State so he has seen Lin’s talent. "I knew the guy was talented before all this happened," said Wright, "I didn't have any idea he would pull this off on such a big stage, but it's all about getting opportunities in this league. And he's obviously seizing this one."
Game Notes
Dallas has totally owned the Knicks recently, winning 9 of the last 10 against New York. The last four meetings have all gone over the total. The Knicks have won 8 of the last 10 in New York and they are 8-2 against the NBA odds. Seven of the last ten at New York have gone over the total.
NBA Predictions
Both Dallas and New York are playing well so it is tough to pick a side but the total has some solid over trends. We’ll look for Sunday’s game to go over the total.
