A matchup with theDallas Mavericks wouldn't usually give theNew York Knickstheir best chance for a fourth straight win and their longest streak since acquiringCarmelo Anthony last month.
Anthony, though, had one of his best scoring performances earlier this season against the Mavericks, and he'll try for a repeat while attempting to lead the Knicks to a rare win in the series Thursday night.
New York (34-29) earned a third consecutive victory Feb. 23 in Anthony's first game following the trade from Denver, but was 2/3 over its next five before winning in Atlanta on Sunday.
The Knicks followed with an easy home victory over Utah the next evening, and Anthony's 19-foot shot with 0.5 seconds remaining gave New York a 110-108 win in Memphis on Wednesday.
"It was one of them shots, that you know is going to go in," Anthony said.
The forward also topped 30 points for the second straight contest with 31, andAmare Stoudemire added 26, giving him an average of 29.7 in six games this month. The victory and Philadelphia's loss to Oklahoma City put New York 1 1/2 games ahead of the 76ers in the race for sixth place in the Eastern Conference.
The Knicks might need as much help as they can get from their two All-Stars in their next game as Dallas (46-18) has won 16 of 18 meetings.Dirk Nowitzkihad 29 points and 11 rebounds in a 113-97 victory at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 2.
The Mavericks, though, had their nine-game home win streak over the Knicks snapped with a 128-94 drubbing last March. They'll also have to face Anthony, who scored 42 points in a 121-120 victory for Denver on Feb. 10, and are hoping to haveShawn Marion available to help stop him.
The forward left Wednesday's game in New Orleans after hurting his ribs on a flagrant foul by the Hornets'Marco Belinelli. X-rays were negative on Marion, who said he was OK.
Dallas also played withoutPeja Stojakovic (back spasms) but gotTyson Chandler back from a sprained right ankle. The status of Stojakovic is unknown for Thursday as is that of Knicks guardChauncey Billups, who has missed fifth straight games with a left quad injury
