The Mavericks have used a 22-10 record at home to overtake the 7th playoff spot in the Western Conference and will look to build on that during an 8 game home stand as the season winds down. The Nuggets find themselves on the road once again even after completing a 5 game trip only a week ago.

Dallas has been up and down recently but has all but secured their spot in the postseason. The Mavs have gone 6-4 straight up and against the spreads in their last 10 but went 4-1 SU during that time. Offensive balance has been the key during a recent 3 game win streak in which 5 players notched double figures in each game spotlighted by Vince Carter's 18 in a win over OKC.

The Nuggets have flip-flopped their last 10 going 5-5 over that span. They've actually covered the number in 4 straight games including 2 SU wins over Miami and the Clippers. Still the season is a disappointment with right around 30 wins, which most experts call 'basketball purgatory' – not good enough for a playoff shot but not bad enough for a high lottery probability.

It was a high scoring affair the last time the two met up as the high 220.5 still went over in a 115-110 Denver home win. Six Nugget players scored in double figures to overcome 27 Dirk Nowitzki points and win the game outright even as 5 point home underdogs. There's not much Dallas could've done better in that first matchup as they shot almost 53% from the field and had an equal number of turnovers but a 36 to 9 free throw disparage was too much to overcome.
