LiontipsDenver vs Dallas. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
After a great start Denver slowed down a little bit. In two most recent matches Mike Malone's men suffered defeats to Utah (110:122) and Cleveland (87:99). Nuggets are missing Jamal Murray. Canadian player is injuried, so he is unlikely to play in next few matches.
Before the match against Dallas Nuggets got another problem. Nikola Jokic has problems with his health. Though, Serb's injury is not to severe, so he will probably recover in time for the match against the Mavericks.
Dallas lost the first match of the season to Atlanta. But after that Jason Kidd's men recorded three consecutive victories. At first, Mavericks beat Toronto (103:95), then they defeated Houston (116:106) and San Antonio (104:99).
We should note that Dallas played offensively in the previous season. But after Kidd took over the team, their strategy changed. Now Mavericks turned their attention to defense of their own rim. They are playing more cautiously now. Team from Texas concedes only 102,5 points per game on average.

Leader of Nuggets, Nikola Jokic, might miss this game, one of the key players of the Mavericks, Kristaps Porzingis, may miss the game as well. We offer to place a bet on total under.
Our prediction - total under 222,5 points
For a long time Denver can't record a home victory over Dallas. But there were times where Nuggets easily beat the Mavs. Mike Malone's men should be able to defeat the Mavericks due to a home advantage.
Our second bet is on Denver to win (Including OT)
