About the Mavs: This is the first of a two-game road trip that concludes Wednesday at the Detroit Pistons. The trip follows a disappointing 105-98 loss at home to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday when the Mavs fell behind 39-18 after the first quarter. … The Mavs are 8-4 on the road and have won four of their last five games away from home. … This is center Tyson Chandler’s first game in New York since the Knicks traded him and guard Raymond Felton — supposedly because of chemistry issues — to the Mavs on June 25. Chandler is tied for seventh in the NBA with 12 double-doubles. … Dallas leads the league in scoring (110 ppg). … Tyson Chandler contributed 17 points and a season-high 25 rebounds as the Mavs beat the Knicks in Dallas 109-102 in overtime on Nov. 26.

About the Knicks: Carmelo Anthony had 34 points and nine rebounds, but the Knicks lost at home to Toronto on Sunday, 95-90 in overtime. … The Knicks broke a 10-game losing streak with Friday’s 101-95 victory over the Boston Celtics. But it was a costly one for the Knicks as they lost shooting guard Iman Shumpert for three weeks to a dislocated left shoulder. … Also, J.R. Smith, who didn’t play against Toronto, is listed as day-to-day because of a small partial tear of the plantar fascia of his left foot. … Baylor-ex Quincy Acy started against Toronto. … Anthony did not play in the earlier matchup between the teams due to back spasms. In that game, former Mavs guard Jose Calderon finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds and was 7-of-9 from 3-point range. — Dwain Price
