Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets: Current situation
Life has been tough for the Mavericks in 2025 as they’re currently without their two best players Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving due to injuries. With just 2 wins in 8 games the Mavs have slipped a bit in the standings, currently occupying the 5th seed with 22 wins and 17 losses. They still remain a solid home team though with a 12-7 record, but the question is how long can that hold on without their two best players.
The Nuggets have also had their fair share of injuries this season, but unlike the Mavs they are pretty much at full strength right now. The emergence of Russell Westbrook has been fun to watch, the veteran point guard is averaging 17.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.2 assists since the turn of the New Year. He and Nikola Jokic have just made history by becoming the first pair of teammates to record a triple-double in the same game twice in a single season.
Dallas Mavericks Stats & Form
Dallas couldn’t do much in Sunday’s home loss to Denver as they fell 112-101. The loss will sting a bit since they led by as many as 19 points in that game, but the absence of their two star players was clearly evident in the 4th quarter where they scored just 12 points total. Dallas is now just 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games, they’ve covered the spread only once in their last 5 at home as well.
Denver Nuggets Stats & Form
Denver is one of the rare teams in the NBA that’s capable of winning games despite not scoring that many three-pointers. Sunday’s game was their 2nd in a row where they scored single-digit three-pointers, but with tough defense and solid shooting inside the perimeter the Nuggets were able to pull out a win against Dallas. They’ve now won 3 in a row and 7 of their last 9 games, heating up just at the right time to climb up in the standings as some teams battle with injuries.
Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets: Head-to-Head
Sunday’s 112-101 win for Denver was the first time this season the two teams weren’t involved in a close outcome in head-to-head games. Prior to that the first 2 meetings were decided by just 2 and 3 points, the Nuggets now lead the series 2-1. They’ve had the upper hand lately winning 6 of 10 meetings, including 5 of the 7 most recent. When it comes to games played in Dallas between the two sides, the under has been the bet to go with, cashing 4 times in the last 5 games.
Dallas Mavericks – Denver Nuggets Odds
No Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving means that the Mavericks are underdogs here, you can back them at 13/8 odds to win. For a Nuggets road win odds of 8/11 are available with most bookmakers.
The point total has been set at 213.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets (14.01.2025)
Lateral quickness on defense has been a issue that has plagued the Dallas Mavericks all year long and this was particularly on display in Sunday’s home loss to Denver. Klay Thompson did his best to carry the team on offense with 25, but without their two best players the Mavericks are going to struggle in the clutch as they simply don’t have anyone else to rely on when the game is on the line. Denver doesn’t have such issues as their MVP is in top form and putting up big numbers. Even Russell Westbrook turned back the clock and filled it up vs Dallas, that just shows how poor the Mavs defense is in handling fast and physical guards when they go at them. Not much should change compared to Sunday’s match-up, as the two teams go at it just 48 hours later. Denver won that game despite shooting just 21% from three-point land, with Aaron Gordon back in the line-up their defense will only get better as time goes by. Dallas has covered the spread just once in 7 games vs West coast teams, if the Nuggets can take away their rebounding here it will be tough to stay in the game. Denver has allowed just 48.7 rebounds per game in their last 3, we are expecting yet another showcase of brilliance by Jokic and co. in this game. Back the road team to win their 2nd consecutive game vs Dallas.
