Game Preview
On December 18, the Denver Nuggets (17-10) will host the Dallas Mavericks (16-9) at Ball Arena.
The Dallas Mavericks have been playing well; they have prevailed in 5 of their past 6 games overall. They will be motivated to continue their winning ways following their 131-120 road victory over the Trail Blazers in their last game. With a triple-double of 40 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists, Luka Doncic paced the club. Tim Hardaway Jr. contributed 25 points off the bench, while Dante Exum and Derrick Jones Jr. each scored 18 points. The Mavericks gained control of the game with a crucial 18-4 run in the second quarter that held them ahead the entire way. As a team, they shot 49% from the field and 16 of 47 from the 3-point line. Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively II, two of the starting players for the Dallas Mavericks, are among the five players listed as injured.
The Denver Nuggets, on the other hand, have been playing well, winning 7 of their previous 11 games overall. However, they will be looking to rebound here after suffering a heartbreaking 118-117 defeat to the Thunder in their last game, which ended their three-game winning run. With 24 points, 12 assists, and 9 rebounds, Nikola Jokic topped the squad and Aaron Gordon added 16 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. The Nuggets were up early and appeared to be in control when they were up by ten points halfway through the 4th quarter, but they enabled the Thunder to come back and win the game. As a team, they hit 45% from the field and 12 of 32 from the 3-point line. Three players that start for the Denver Nuggets are listed as injured: Aaron Gordon, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Jamal Murray. Given that Gordon and Murray are marked as probable, they will most likely take on the Mavericks.
