With respect to shot attempts from downtown, the 2nd-most aggressive team in the NBA this year has been the Mavericks.This year, opposing starting SGs have shot 44.7% on three-pointers (30th-highest in the league) vs. the New York Knicks, resulting in a positive matchup.The Mavericks have played at the 2nd-quickest tempo in the NBA over the last 10 games.The Dallas Mavericks will likely see an increase in opportunities in this contest from sharing the court with the 8th-most up-tempo tempo away offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Knicks).When playing away from home, the Knicks have allowed the 2nd-least offensive boards per game (9.5) in the league to the other team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).
