The Knicks (8-5) looks to improve their road record against the struggling Mavericks (4-11), with tipoff set for 9:30 p.m. ET tonight.

As has been the case all year, many Mavericks are set to miss this game. Anthony Davis has missed the last nine games with a low-grade calf strain, so this will be his tenth. He'll be re-evaluated either this weekend or early next week, but it wouldn't be surprising if he missed the month at this point.

Part of the worry with Brunson is that he hurt the same ankle late last season. He was initially expected to miss two weeks back then but ended up being unavailable for 15 games before returning for the playoffs. The Knicks went 9-6 while he was out.

Norman Powell scored 19 points, Kel’el Ware finished with 16 points and 14 rebounds and the Miami Heat held off a frantic rally in the final moments to beat the New York Knicks 115-113 on Monday night.
