Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Monday, 12/01/25

Denver enters this matchup in explosive offensive form, averaging 127 points over their last 5 games and continuing their long-standing trend of high-scoring outings at home, where they are 6-3 to the over. Their spacing, ball movement and shot quality have all been elite, making them one of the most consistent over teams when playing in altitude. With their interior presence drawing defensive attention and their perimeter shooters hitting rhythm looks, the Nuggets are positioned once again to dictate pace and scoring tempo.

Dallas, meanwhile, tends to thrive in games that open up — and recent matchups with Denver show it can reliably contribute to a high total, averaging over 110 points in their head-to-heads. Anthony Davis should be suiting up tonight; he is averaging 19.3 ppg. Rookie Cooper Flagg has been trending in the right direction in terms of offense. The Mavericks’ defense has been vulnerable, but that often fuels overs by creating more transition chances and quick scoring runs on both ends. With Denver pushing pace, Dallas following suit and neither defense positioned to slow down sustained offensive spurts, this game projects as another high-possession shootout.
