Nuggets vs. Mavericks Best Bets
Nuggets -5 (-110 DraftKings)
Although they are coming off an impressive win over Phoenix, the Mavs are traveling to Denver for the second game of a back-to-back. While Luka Doncic might be the best player in the NBA, he is basically a one-man show. The Mavericks lack of depth has hurt them numerous times so far this season and never more so than in the second night of a back-to-back. They have yet to cover a spread this season in that scenario and are 1-5-1 in their past seven games in such spots dating back to last season. Led by Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets should have plenty of motivation to get back on track on their home floor.
Most of the betting trends definitely favor Denver in this matchup. Dallas is 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games and 7-19-1 in their last 27 games overall. The Nuggets are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games.
Risk: 1.1 units on DraftKings to win 1 unit. (Playable to -5.5)
