The Nuggets (8-6) are riding their longest win streak of the season and will hope to extend it to four games when they take on the Mavericks(8-8) in Dallas.
The Mavericks have a lot of potential, thanks to the star power of Luka Doncic and Kristaps Prozingisis, but are 4-4 in their last eight games. They enter Monday’s contest coming off a surprise 133-108 defeat at the hands of the Houston Rockets Saturday.
Denver comes off an impressive back-to-back away sweep against Phoenix and is one of the NBA’s hottest teams during the same stretch, going 6-2 in its last eight games.
