Mavericks @ Nuggets

Who will WIN this matchup?

@ Denver Nuggets (22-15)

 

Current odds:

Dallas Mavericks: (-110)

Denver Nuggets: (-110)

 

The spread for the game is Dallas by 1 point.

On Saturday, the two teams will meet again for the third and final time this season under different circumstances. The season is going strong through the coronavirus pandemic despite some postponements, and playoff seedings are becoming important for the last half of the 72-game season. Dallas opened its post-All Star schedule with a win against San Antonio on Wednesday and then lost at Oklahoma City on Thursday, with Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis sitting out for rest against the Thunder.

The Nuggets held on to beat Memphis 103-102 on the road Friday night in their first game since the All-Star break. The time off helped Denver get a little healthier, although several players remain out of the lineup. Paul Millsap returned after missing 10 games with a knee sprain and Facundo Campazzo cleared health protocols. Millsap came off the bench Friday and finished with 11 points in 22 minutes.

The Nuggets have won five straight games, all on the road. Now the task is integrating the returning players and keeping their momentum going.

Denver and Dallas split their first two meetings this season, with each team winning on the road. Both teams have played well lately, with the Mavericks having won 10 of their past 13 games and the Nuggets riding their five-game winning streak.
