Tip and bets
Denver Nuggets are considered clear favorites of the upcoming game. Nuggets lost only one head-to-head fixture in the previous season, mostly because Nikola Jokic didn't play. In the second match, when Nikola Jokic was in the line-up, Colorado team secured a comfortable victory. We are expecting the same scenario in this game.
Our prediction - Handicap (-5.5) points on Denver
Denver average 117 points per game in home matches, while Dallas score 111 per game on away. But head-to-head matches between these teams are usually low-scoring, so we offer to place a bet on total under.
Our second bet is on total under 221.5 points
