Smart Game Analysis
Denver Nuggets has a 75% chance of winning the game
The Nuggets are heavily favored to break their home losing streak as they host a struggling, injury-depleted Mavericks team that lacks the offensive firepower to match Denver's top-ranked scoring attack.
Key Analysis
- • Dallas is missing key centers Dereck Lively II and likely Daniel Gafford, leaving the interior severely compromised against Nikola Jokic.
- • The Nuggets possess the NBA's #1 ranked offense averaging 124.8 points per game, while the Mavericks rank 28th in scoring.
- • Nikola Jokic is averaging a near triple-double (28.9 PPG, 12.4 RPG, 10.9 APG) and faces a frontcourt lacking its primary rim protectors.
- • Denver has won 7 of its last 10 games, whereas the Mavericks are 6-15 and struggling to find consistency with their new roster.
- • The Mavericks are without Kyrie Irving (knee), removing a critical scoring threat needed to challenge Denver's defense.
- • Dallas needs a dominant performance from Anthony Davis and rookie Cooper Flagg to overcome the significant offensive disparity.
