Tuesday, December 18 finds the Dallas Mavericks meeting the Denver Nuggets for the first time this season. Both teams last game was played on Sunday with the Mavericks losing to the Kings and the Nuggets beating the Raptors.
Last season, the teams split the season series. The Mavericks hold the all-time record having bested the Nuggets in 88 of their 170 matches.
Dallas Mavericks
Rookie Luka Doncic continues to impress whether it be stifling LeBron James (twice in the same game), showing a step back trey that James Harden would drool over or going on an 11-0 run of his own to capture victory.
The kid is the real deal who might just lead his squad to the playoffs. He’s the Rookie of the Year — and it’s not even close!

A feel good moment of the season is Dirk Nowitzki’s return to the hardwood in his 21st season. He’s coming off the bench and barely involved in the offense, but any true fan can’t help but smirk with every patented one foot step back attempt which invariably swishing through the net.

J.J. Barea missed the past two games but is expected to play. Maxi Kleber (big toe) is questionable. Doubtful to play on Tuesday is Dennis Smith Jr. who is nursing a wrist injury.
Denver Nuggets
If there was a team more banged up than the Nuggets it was their Sunday opponent, the Raptors. In spite of missing Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, Jonas Valanciunas and Norman Powell Toronto led by 13 points at one stage of the second half.

But the combination of Nikola Jokic (who has to be gaining ground in the MVP conversation) and Canadian Jamal Murray proved too much for the depleted Raptors.
The Nuggets are dealing with their own injury issues but keep finding a way to win. On a three game win streak Denver is using defense as their best weapon; holding each of those opponents (Raptors, Thunder, Grizzlies) under 100 points.
The trainers in Denver might want to find some good ways to strengthen hips with each of Will Barton, Isaiah Thomas and Gary Harris out due to hip issues.
Longer term injured parties include Paul Millsap (right big toe fracture), Jarred Vanderbilt (right foot surgery) and Michael Porter Jr. (back surgery.

Free Dallas Mavericks vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
The Mavericks are among the hottest clubs in the Association with one major problem — they have difficulty winning on the road (2-10).
Coincidentally, the Nuggets rarely lose at home (12-3). The only way to beat the Nuggets is to block Jokic’s passing lanes or push the pace to score freely. Neither is easily achieved.
