Rebounding the ball is one of the most important things in a competitive league such as the NBA. It creates second-chance points or gives you an opportunity for a fast break. This is exactly what the Nuggets did tonight against the Dallas Mavericks.

League wise they are already one of the best rebounding teams and it reflects on the Western Conference seeds as well.

In tonight’s game, they made sure that they swept the boards and got easy second-chance points. Their best player Nikola Jokic led from the front with a double-double points-rebound. He had 16 rebounds to help his team get the win and keep building on the momentum. Other starters like Jamal Murray and Jason Plumlee also joined the party with 7 and 9 rebounds respectively.

For the Dallas Mavericks Luka Doncic had an all-round game and came with a double-double of his own as he racked up 23 points and 12 assists.

In their next game, the Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks will both face the Clippers respectively.
