The Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets matchup is one of 11 games scheduled for NBA Sunday. The Mavericks are coming off a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the Phoenix Suns, while the Nuggets beat the Miami Heat in their previous game.

Dallas was less than a second away from sending the game into overtime when Daniel Gafford fouled Jusuf Nurkic with 0.8 seconds left. Nurkic made one of the two free throws for the 114-113 win. It was the Mavericks' fourth loss of the season, and they are likely playing without Luka Doncic on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Nuggets have now won four in a row after a rough start to the campaign. They defeated the visiting Heat 135-122 on Friday night in a rematch of the 2023 NBA Finals. Nikola Jokic dropped another triple-double to lead Denver to their sixth win.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Denver Nuggets betting tips

Kyrie Irving has an over/under of 24.5 points, which is slightly lower than his season average of 23.67 points per game. Irving will easily score at least 25 points, especially if Luka Doncic is ruled out. Bet on Irving to go over, but you need to monitor the injury reports ahead of tonight's game.

Nikola Jokic is favored to go over 27.5 points, which is lower than his average this season of 28.9 PPG. There's a chance that the Nuggets will blow the game open with Doncic possibly not playing, so take the risk and bet on Jokic to take it easy and score less than 28 points.
