The Denver Nuggets (40-18) are in action for their final game before the All-Star Break this weekend as they welcome the Dallas Mavericks (31-28) to town. The Nuggets are coming home following a three-game road trip where they went 2-1 on the East coast. Meanwhile, the Mavericks have lost back-to-back games by a combined eight points coming into tonight.
For the Nuggets, they’re heading into the break with everyone aside from Nikola Jokic getting the entire break to rest, and they have a chance to carry a healthy five-game lead into the break. This will be the fourth and final meeting between these teams this year, and the Nuggets need a win to secure a split in the season series following losses back in November and December.
