| Nikola Jokic O 30.5 points | -102 | – |
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is one of the most skilled scorers in the league. Currently playing his 10th season in the league, Jokic is the seventh leading scorer in the ongoing season. In 19 games that he has played, the Joker leads the Nuggets across offensive and defensive stats. He is averaging 28.9 points per game with 12.4 rebounds, 10.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Jokic is shooting 63.7% from the field and 45.3% from beyond the arc. In the most recent game, he dropped 26 points against the Suns. Though the three-time MVP was restricted below 25 points in the last three games, he dropped a 44-point show just before that.
Considering the fact that the Nuggets have homecourt advantage in the upcoming game and the fact that Jokic has been a consistent player throughout, he could score 31 points or more.
Denver Nuggets, the 2023 NBA Champions, kicked off the current season with a loss, but soon got on track and won games one after the other. They are currently seeded in the fourth spot of the standings with a 14-5 record and are one of the most powerful teams this season. Though the Nuggets suffered two losses in the last five games, there is no doubt that they come off as a real challenge to their rivals. Talking about their stats, Denver has the best offensive rating at 123.9 while its defensive rating of 114.2 gives it 15th spot in the standings.
On the other hand, all expectations of fans and franchise crushed when the Dallas Mavericks got off to the worst start of the season. Despite having names such as Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson, the Mavericks struggled to survive the season. Their star rookie Cooper Flagg has emerged as a right choice, but it seems that the Mavericks have already started to expect too much from him.
Recently, Flagg dropped 35 points against the LA Clippers but the team cannot expect him to deliver such games regularly. The Mavs recorded their sixth win of the season in their most recent game, and they would enter the upcoming game confidently. However, they must not forget that they have lethal rivals. Talking about their stats, the Mavericks have the worst offensive rating of 106.0, but their defense is pretty good.
As far as Monday’s game is concerned, the Nuggets have homecourt advantage and are in great form. All these scenarios make them heavy favorites to win the upcoming game.
