Pick: | Mavericks -1.5 ATS PRO |
Confidence: | 3/5 |
Score Projection: Denver Nuggets 110 – Dallas Mavericks 113
Win Probability: Denver Nuggets 48%, Dallas Mavericks 52%
I'm expecting a close game between the Nuggets and Mavericks in this contest from Dallas. It's hard to have a ton of faith in either of these teams right now, given how many injuries both teams are dealing with. Still, I'll lay the points with the Mavs at home, as they should at least look a little bit more coherent offensively with the Nuggets missing arguably the best player in the world in Nikola Jokic.
