Dallas @ Denver

Current Records: Dallas 31-28; Denver 40-18

What to Know

The Dallas Mavericks will square off against the Denver Nuggets at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday at Ball Arena. Dallas knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past three matchups -- so hopefully Denver likes a good challenge.

The Mavericks were close but no cigar on Monday as they fell 124-121 to the Minnesota Timberwolves. One thing holding Dallas back was the mediocre play of shooting guard Josh Green, who did not have his best game: he finished with only six points on 3-for-11 shooting in his 37 minutes on the court.

Speaking of close games: on Monday Denver sidestepped the Miami Heat for a 112-108 win. It was another big night for Denver's center Nikola Jokic, who almost dropped a triple-double on 27 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists.

Dallas is expected to lose this next one by 7. Now might not be the best time to take the Mavericks against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

Dallas got away with a 116-115 win in the teams' previous meeting last December. Will they repeat their success, or does Denver have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
