Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets Preview

The Mavs have been without their ace Luka Doncic since Christmas. Their troubles increased when Kyrie Irving was also ruled out in early January. The absence of their two leading scorers caused a five-game losing streak. However, the team has righted the ship by winning two in a row, thanks to their bench guards clicking on all cylinders. However, the consecutive games against the Denver Nuggets can derail their season further without Irving and Doncic.

The Nuggets have done well to recover from some lean patches in December. While Nikola Jokic has been continuing his MVP play, Russell Westbrook has found his mojo as a starting guard. His energy has enabled the team to become much more potent on both ends. Christian Braun has become a reliable scorer whereas Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. have also contributed well. The Nuggets have won six out of their last eight games but will need to sustain the momentum to hold on to the fourth spot in a tight Western Conference race.

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
