It seems that the Denver Nuggets accelerated in the best possible moment. The champs look good, have an excellent streak behind them and want to extend it in Dallas, where they meet the Mavericks. Luka is a game-time decision, but in this case, we are going to cover this event as if Doncic plays.
Denver Nuggets News
The Nuggets have been on fire recently, with eleven victories in the last 12 events, five straight away from Colorado. Phoenix Suns were the only team who managed to defeat the champs, but that didn’t hurt Jokic and the boys too much, with them bouncing right away and notching five triumphs afterward.
The most recent was in Austin, where Denver routinely defeated the Spurs 117-106. Jokic had a team-high 31 points, with seven boards and five assists, while five other guys had double-digit points – Jamal Murray had 15 with ten dimes, MPJ had 13, the same as Jrue Holiday and Christian Braun. The Nuggets had 37 assists in this event.
Dallas Mavericks
Luka was out for the Mavs against the Thunder, and the team from Texas lost that event 126-119. It was the first failure of the Mavericks after four wins in a row – against the Heat and the Warriors at the American Airlines Center and the Pistons and the Bulls on the road.
Kyrie Irving was excellent on the offensive side, scoring 36 points and adding 12 assists, but that wasn’t enough against one of the best teams in the West. Tim Hardaway Jr. delivered 23 with nine boards and five threes, while Daniel Gafford added a double-double of 19 points and 15 boards.
Denver Nuggets vs. Dallas Mavericks Betting Tip
As we said, we believe that Luka will play here, and even so, the Nuggets are our pick. Denver is extremely sharp these days, looking like a team that reached its peak form. Also, the entire team is playing well, and their versatility will be too much for the hosts.
