The Dallas Mavericks are set to face off against the Denver Nuggets on National TV, which means it’s time to dive into our MMBets Game of the Week. The Mavericks are fresh off of a clutch win against the Brooklyn
Nets on Monday. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are on the second leg of a road back-to-back, having won in New Orleans on Tuesday. Bear in mind, Denver still does not have Nikola Jokic back after the knee injury and will likely rest some guys on the back end of the back-to-back. What does that mean we are in store for tonight?
Before we dive into the matchup, let’s look at last week’s results.

Well, would you look at that? Tyler finally put together a winning week for the first time in ages. The real question is: Was this a sign of things to come? Or was this simply a blind squirrel finding a nut?
Year to date
David: 22-17 (+$647)

Progress was made to start off 2026, but there is more work to be done in order to get this thing back in the black. Let’s go to work.
