Downing-USA TODAY Sports The Denver Nuggets are 4. 5-point favorites vs the visiting Dallas Mavericks Tuesday night Dallas is playing the second night of a back-to-back Read below for the Mavericks vs Nuggets preview, with odds and predictions After laying the wood to the West-leading Suns, the Dallas Mavericks (12-11, 2-8 away) are off to the Mile High City, for the second night of a back-to-back against the Denver Nuggets (14-9, 6-2 home). Denver last played Sunday, getting thumped by the New Orleans Pelicans, their second loss in a row. They’ll return home with a chance to improve their 6-2 record.
Mavericks vs Nuggets Prediction Dallas has not fared well playing on consecutive nights: in their last four games, they’re 0-3-1 against the spread. They’re also 0-6 ATS in their last six games against a team with a winning home record. On the year, Dallas is a lowly 3-7 ATS on the road. Denver is 5-3 ATS in their eight home games so far this year, and they’re 3-2 taking on teams with a rest advantage. The Nuggets are an elite offensive unit, ranking fifth in offensive rating, while leading the league in field goal shooting (50%) and third in assists. It might be hard for Dallas to match the Nuggets bucket-for-bucket: they’re second-last in pace and are last in fast break points.
Three other Nuggets starters finished in double-digits. Aaron Gordon had 19 points and eight rebounds and Jamal Murray added 18 points, five assists and four boards.

Jokic and Murray missed both previous games between the two teams this season due to injury. On Tuesday, they’ll be missing the third part of their Big 3, as Michael Porter Jr (heel), will miss his third straight game, and there’s no timeline for his return. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (wrist) and Jeff Green (knee) are both listed questionable.
