Denver Nuggets vs Dallas Mavericks: Current situation
Following a minor hiccup to start the season, Denver has bounced back in dominant fashion and if it wasn’t for the absence of Nikola Jokic in the last couple of games they would be near the top of the Western Conference. The Serbian MVP is currently out due to personal reasons, but there is a high chance of him returning in time for Friday’s game. When he plays the Nuggets have the NBA’s best point differential, when he doesn’t they have the worst.
Dallas has been hot and cold to start the 2024-25 season. They just responded to a 4-game losing streak by winning their last 3 games, two of which were by double-digits. Just like the Nuggets, they too are 1-1 in the Emirates NBA Cup, so this will be a pivotal game for both teams. After getting the night off against Oklahoma City, Luka Doncic should be fresh here which could be a major factor in determining the outcome of this game.
Denver Nuggets Stats & Form
In their last 3 games the Nuggets are just 1-2, but that’s only because they’re without their best player Jokic. After back-to-back games of under 100 points and losses to the Pelicans and Grizzlies, the Nuggets bounced back with a 122-110 win over Memphis, also without Jokic. Jamal Murray finally stepped up with 27 points, while Michael Porter Jr. added 24 and 11 rebounds. It will be interesting to see if those two can remain hot if Jokic is unable to play once again.
Dallas Mavericks Stats & Form
The 41 point victory at New Orleans on Tuesday was a major boost to the point differential of the Mavericks in this competition. Luka Doncic returned from injury with 26 points, while Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving added 19 and 18 respectively. The game was pretty much in the books by half-time, so only one of the starters played 30 minutes which should keep the Mavericks relatively fresh for Friday’s game.
Denver Nuggets vs Dallas Mavericks: Head to Head
These two teams met 10 days ago in what was the first meeting of the regular season. It was one of the most entertaining games of the season so far, ending with a Michael Porter Jr. jump shot which sealed the win for Denver. Kyrie Irving exploded for 43 points in that game, while Nikola Jokic led Denver with 37. That means the last 10 meetings have been split between the teams, when it comes to games played at Ball Arena, the Nuggets have had the upper hand with 5 wins in the last 6 games.
Denver Nuggets – Dallas Mavericks Odds
A home victory for the Nuggets nets you odds of 4/5, while an away win for Dallas is valued at 6/4 odds. Keep in mind that these can change if Nikola Jokic is unable to play.
The point total has been set at 225.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Denver Nuggets vs Dallas Mavericks (22.11.2024)
Having Nikola Jokic out there makes a massive difference for the Nuggets here, but even if he does play we would still side with the Mavericks in this game. Momentum is a big factor in today’s NBA and right now the Dallas have plenty of it after 3 consecutive wins. Jokic has missed the last 3 games, so it might take him some time to get back into rhythm. Playing a tough Dallas team will certainly be difficult, the Nuggets barely edged them 122-120 in the first meeting of the season when they were at full strength. These two teams are elite on defense, especially when it comes to the three-point line. Opponents are making just 33.9% and 34.1% of their attempts from downtown against the Mavs and Nuggets this season, so the 242 points scored in the first meeting could be an outlier. We’ve seen some lockdown defense by Dallas in their last 3 games, they managed to hold 2 teams under 100 points during that stretch. With them winning 9 of their last 13 games against Northwest Division opponents, we feel like the Mavericks are strong enough to capture another road victory at Denver here. Back Dallas to cover the spread.
