Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
I’m not excited to lay double-digit chalk with the Nuggets on the end of a back-to-back. However, this game has more to do with the Mavs than anything. The Mavericks look like a team that’s waiting for the offseason, and they’re 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games. The Mavericks are 30-41-1 ATS on the season. The Nuggets beat the Mavs on the road in January by 9 points, and they’re healthier than they were back then. On paper this game has no reason to be close. Give me the Nuggets in a beatdown.
