New York at Dallas

The NBA needs the Knicks to be good but it looks like they are heading for another losing season for the seventh straight year, opening at a woeful 1-7. The Knicks have held their own despite the losses and are 2-0 ATS as a double-digit dog in the early going as it seems teams do not typically bring their "A" game vs. New York. Dallas is 5-2 but all but one of the wins have been within 10 points and they are off a tough game vs. Orlando, winning by a single point. They might not bring a full tank to this one, so I like the Knicks in this one.
