Why Bet on the Denver Nuggets

Denver may have a bad record but guess what, they are great against the spread. So far this season they are 31-25 ATS and 19-10 ATS on the road. That’s a great trend to have in your favor. They have a great rebounding team and if they crash the boards well against Dallas they should be able to compete. The Nuggets should be loaded with confidence after beating the Clippers in their last game out. They are getting +5 points in this game and betting on the underdog is never a terrible option.

Why Bet on the Dallas Mavericks

For the Dallas Mavericks, they are solid against the spread as well with a 31-26 ATS record and 17-11 home ATS. They beat the Nuggets back in November 92-81. Unfortunately, Dallas has not been playing their best basketball over the last few weeks, losing 6 of 8. Dallas has significantly more offensive firepower than the Nuggets do in this game. The Mavericks are also fighting for a lot more as the playoffs are in sight for them. They have won four of their last five meetings with the Nuggets.

Expert Pick & Final Score Prediction

The total for this game is set at 208 points. The Dallas Mavericks are listed as -5 point favorites at MyBookie.ag right now. This should be a competitive game from beginning to end. We think Dallas is the better team. They play well at home and have proven they can handle Denver in the past. Look for the Mavericks to jump out to an early lead and never look back in this one. Our pick is Dallas -5 in this game. The final score will be Dallas Mavericks 103 and Denver Nuggets 100.
