Joining Marshall in substitute starting duty was former Knick Quentin Grimes, who earned 21 while PJ Washington had a 19-point, 10-rebound double-double. In the latter portion, the Knicks lost the rebounding battle by 10, as Karl-Anthony Towns had 14 of their 33 boards.

Although the New York Knicks experienced success last season, reaching the second round of the playoffs for two consecutive years, they had one void in their otherwise triumphant 2023-24 campaign. The Dallas Mavericks swept the Knicks for their 2023-24 regular-season series. The Knicks seek revenge on Wednesday as part of the ESPN primetime game.

The Dallas Mavericks have been without superstar point guard Luka Doncic for their last three games, and that streak will continue against the New York Knicks. A right wrist sprain will keep Doncic out of Wednesday night's contest, per the NBA's injury report.
