Mavericks vs. Nuggets Game Info
Dallas Mavericks (19-17, 9-9 Away) vs. Denver Nuggets (22-15, 9-7 Home)
Date: Saturday, March 13, 2021
Time: 10 p.m. EST
Venue: Ball Arena — Denver, CO
Coverage: NBATV
The Mavericks have been playing better, winning 10 of their last 13 games. However, they are coming off a loss in which they played without both Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. Both of the Dallas stars are expected to return to the lineup tonight, helping get the Mavericks back on track against a top Western Conference opponent. The away team has won both games between these teams this season, so Dallas will look to keep that trend going tonight.
The Nuggets played last night, defeating the Grizzlies by a single point. Denver has won five straight games, with all of them coming on the road. This will be their first home game since Feb. 25th. Paul Millsap made his return to the lineup last night, and both Gary Harris and JaMychal Green are listed as questionable tonight. If both return, the toll of back-to-back games will be lessened for Denver. It would also be the healthiest the team has been in some time.

Mavericks vs. Nuggets Prediction
This game looks evenly matched and, shown by the two previous matchups, the result is truly a toss-up. It depends on which star in this game gets hot and who is in a slump. I would rather stay away from betting the spread and instead cheer for the points in this exciting matchup. The previous matchup totaled a combined 230 points, and the first game in Denver was 241 points. I like a well-rested Luka Doncic to push the Nuggets, forcing this game to hit the over.
Prediction: Over 226
