Prediction:

Based on the current injury reports and team strengths, the Nuggets are the clear favorites, especially with their star player, Jokic, likely to play. The Mavericks have managed to perform excellently without Doncic for quite some time, but facing the Nuggets will likely be a tough challenge. The Nuggets are currently on a two-game winning streak, with dominant victories over the Clippers and Nets. Given the Mavericks’ injury struggles, I expect the Nuggets to be ruthless in this matchup.

Pick: Nuggets -5.5 (bet365)
