In tonight’s NBA Regular Season Western Conference clash, the Dallas Mavericks take on the Denver Nuggets at the Ball Arena on Tuesday (December 6).

The 14-9 Nuggets haven’t been great over the past few games, losing both of their last two. The 12-11 Mavericks, on the other hand, have come into great form, winning three of their previous four. The betting odds and predictions are as follows:

The fascinating part of the Mavs’ run of form has been the quality of the opposition they have beaten over that period. They have managed to get the better of the Warriors and the Suns while losing against the Pistons. The Nuggets come into this game on the back of a two-game losing streak. Their latest loss came against the Pelicans by 121-106.

Luka Doncic has been playing at a level above anyone else in the NBA. He has single-handedly carried the Mavs to results. He is averaging 33 points per game this game, in addition to nine assists and nine rebounds. He is coming off another exceptional outing, going 33-6-8 and making 4-9 threes.

Nikola Jokic is leading the line for the Nuggets once again. Similar to Doncic, Jokic also leads his side across all major metrics. He is averaging 23 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists per game from the #5. He is coming off a 32-16-9 performance against the Pelicans in a losing effort.

Mavericks vs. Nuggets Betting Prediction

The Mavericks are well and truly a man-man show. Luka has been phenomenal for the Mavs, but his cavalry hasn’t performed at all. The battle between the two Euro stars will be a spectacle to follow as Jokic and Doncic lock horns. But the advantage lies with Jokic as the supporting cast around him has performed much better than the Mavs. The Nuggets should win this one.
