Denver Nuggets vs. Dallas Mavericks – December 6

The Dallas Mavericks will also be a challenging matchup for Michael Malone‘s fully healthy squad. As the Mavericks made it to the Western Conference Finals last year, and are considered a contender this season.

It’s no secret either that people are always interested in those matchups between Denver and Dallas because of the presence of two of the most intriguing NBA talents.

Nikola Jokic is the back-to-back MVP, while Luka Doncic is considered by many as the favorite to win this year’s award, especially if Dallas continues to establish itself as a top-tier team in the West.

Besides the big matchup between Jokic and Doncic, the game could set the tone early for the Nuggets as title contenders if they can prove themselves against a potential top-tier Western Conference team like the Mavericks.
