The New York Knicks will go toe-to-toe with the Dallas Mavericks on December 16 at the Madison Square Garden in New York, New York.

The game will begin at 8:00 pm ET and can be viewed online through live stream via the link provided below (free for subscribers).

Meanwhile, the Knicks (5-21) are looking to elude a potential two game losing streak when they host the Mavericks at the "World's Most Famous Arena."

The Knicks recently lost to their Atlantic divisional foes the Toronto Raptors by a score of 95-90 in overtime after Carmelo Anthony totaled 34 points and 9 rebounds in a losing effort on Sunday night.

"They applied a little bit more pressure than they had throughout the course of the game and kind of got us playing a little bit faster than we wanted to play," said Anthony to reporters.

In addition, Knicks rookie head coach Derek Fisher also addressed the rumors that claim his team might be tanking the season in order to secure a top pick in the upcoming NBA Draft next year.

"I don't think anybody's given up on what we're trying to do at this point. We have a number of guys that are thinking about how they're going to provide for their families and where their careers are going, and whether they're going to be here or on another team and all the ramifications of those decisions and so that's not easy stuff to process," said Fisher to reporters prior their most recent defeat against Toronto.

"And then on top of that they're being asked to sacrifice more and do less in order to win. It's not a great combination for cohesion sand team chemistry, but I do think there are enough guys in the locker room that want to do it the right way and so that's why we've had a chance a lot of nights to win."

Meanwhile, the Mavericks (17-8) are attempting to prolong the Knicks' season-long misery when they battle with New York at MSG on Tuesday night.

Previously, Dallas' current losing streak began when they lost to the Golden State Warriors by a score of 105-98 on Saturday afternoon.

In that game, Mavericks superstar Dirk Nowitzki had 23 points and 8 rebounds in the aforementioned defeat.
