Over\/Under<\/strong>: 211 06<\/p>\nAfter a recent 13-game winning streak, Dallas (48-25, 29-42-2 ATS) has cooled off. The Mavericks are just 3-4 in their seven games since that impressive run, although they did blow out the Warriors on Saturday, picking up a 111-90 road win. It was the first time Dallas covered in eight games; the Mavs are a pathetic 1-6-1 in their past eight games on NBA odds. Playing at home certainly hasn\u2019t been much of an advantage either\u2014Dallas is winless in its past eight games at American Airlines Center.<\/p>\n
A sliding Dallas offense has been mostly to blame for the slump. In the team\u2019s past four losses, Dallas averaged just 93.7 points per game\u2014despite a 101.6 average on the year\u2014and failed to crack triple digits in any of those outings. Dirk Nowitzki needs to step up; he\u2019s averaging just 18.0 points over his past five games and has led Dallas in scoring just twice during the seven-game slump.<\/p>\n
Denver (48-26, 31-37-6 ATS) has dropped four of its past five outings, including a 103-97 defeat to Orlando on Sunday. In fact, since a six-game winning streak at the beginning of the month, Denver is just 3-5. Results have been even worse at the sportsbook; the Nuggets are 0-7-1 against the spread in their past eight games on NBA odds. Denver has covered just twice in its past 10 games away from home. ![\"Online](\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_41\")
<\/p>\n
Despite the best efforts of Carmelo Anthony, Denver has stumbled recently. Carmelo is averaging 29.6 points per game over his past five outings, yet the Nuggets managed to lose four of them. Although the team hasn\u2019t played especially well on \u201cD\u201d during that stretch, the offense hasn\u2019t been up to its usual lofty standards. Denver is cranking out 107.1 points per game this season, but that number dropped to 98.8 over the past five games.<\/p>\n
This series has largely belonged to Denver. The Nuggets have won eight of their last 10 meetings with Dallas, and they\u2019ve been just as good against the spread\u2014Denver owns a 7-2-1 ATS advantage during those games.<\/p>\n
Nuggets vs Mavericks Free Pick:<\/strong> Neither team is playing its best basketball right now, but it\u2019s hard to contest Denver\u2019s impressive record against the Mavericks. If ever there was a time to take an underdog, it\u2019s now. <\/p>\nBet on the Nuggets to cover on the road.<\/p>\n
