let's go to us Nuggets vs. Mavericks nominations and Nuggets vs. Mavericks predictions.
Nuggets vs. Mavs picks and predictions
The Nuggets have been strong since the All-Star break, going 11-1 during that span and ranking second in net rating (+13.3). They've clearly flipped a switch, and Jokic, on a tear, is now the leading candidate to win his third MVP.
This will be a good matchup for Denver's offense, considering the Mavericks don't have great rim protection or defensive rebounding. They rank 25th in defensive rebound percentage and 28th in field goal percentage at the rim. That's certainly an issue when playing against Jokic and a Nuggets offense that ranks ninth in season rim rating. Jokic should be able to have success against Daniel Gafford and Derek Lively II in this spot.
I expect the Nuggets' offense to improve in this matchup.
The Mavericks' offense ranks third in offensive rating (121.8) after the All-Star break, while the defense ranks 27th in defensive rating (119.8). They rank fifth in adjusted offensive rating this season, but only 23rd in defensive rating, according to dunksandthrees.com, and that's the story of their season.
It could be a tough matchup for Dallas' offense, considering the Nuggets rank second in opponent 3-point shooting percentage this season and do a great job of stopping 3-pointers. The Mavericks' offense relies heavily on producing quality 3-pointers, as they rank second in offensive 3-point attempt percentage on the season.
For Dallas to compete here, they're going to need Doncic and Kyrie Irving to attack the rim.

I'm actually leaning towards the plus-money Mavericks here considering this game is much more important to them as they try to prove they are a legitimate contender in the West. I'd play Dallas with a moneyline up to +120.
