Dallas is back on the road in Denver
, where they will play the Nuggets for the fourth and final time this season. The first three iterations have been in Dallas’ favor, as they own a 2-1 series lead. Tonight, the Mavericks get the Nuggets with no rest and are coming off two heartbreaking overtime losses. It’s hard to see how Dallas does not stay in this contest and potentially make a statement in the Mile High City.Game intangibles

Player props
Tim Hardaway Jr. over 11.5 points (-104)
Cooper Flagg over 21.5 points (-120)
Hardaway has hit this line in all three previous matchups with Dallas this year, and averages over 13 points per game with zero days of rest. Flagg easily hit this line in the games against Denver that he played 30-plus minutes in, and has fresh legs against a Nuggets defense that played late last night.
Game sides
Dallas +12 (-110)
Over 244.5 points (-112)
The Mavericks have not lost by 13 or more to the Nuggets since January of last year, and Denver has only covered this line against Dallas three times since 2019-20. They play a lot of competitive and high-scoring games, and I expect tonight to be just that.
