What a great start to the new NBA week, we have 11 games total tonight including an NBA TV double-header!
The Dallas Mavericks host the Denver Nuggets on NBA TV with tip-off scheduled for 8pm ET. The LA Lakers and Chicago Bulls will wrap things up at 10:30 pm ET.
Let’s focus on the Nuggets and Mavs for now, though.
Kristaps Porzingis over 17.5 points (-106)
Luka Doncic over 8.5 assists (-102)
Luka Doncic to record 10+ rebounds (+210)
Parlay odds: +825
Kristaps Porzingis over 17.5 points (-106)
Looks like the Mavericks finally have a 2nd starter to compliment Luka Doncic. Kristaps Porzingis has picked up his play tremendously in November. He’s coming off a huge 32-point performance against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. This month he has gone over 17.5 points 3 times in 4 games while scoring at least 21 points each time. He is shooting 50% from the field and 34.8% from deep. Aside from Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets don’t really have anyone to guard Porzingis.With so many Nuggets players being out, Jokic will have his hands full organizing the offense, and stopping Porzingis won’t be his priority. Expect the Latvian unicorn to have a 20+ point performance.

Luka Doncic over 8.5 assists (-102)
Doncic also filled up the stat sheet against the Spurs, finishing with a triple-double by scoring 32 points, grabbing 12 rebounds and dishing out 15 assists. Going up against Jokic will definitely be added motivation, if Luka can get one over the MVP he could very well end up in the conversation for this year’s MVP. He’s putting up those type of numbers this season. In his last 2 games he’s had double-digit assists and I think we’ll see that happen tonight as well.
Luka Doncic to record 10+ rebounds (+210)
The main reason for this bet is the absence of Maxi Kleber, who will be out of tonight’s game due to an oblique injury. He brings a lot to the table for Dallas, especially on the defensive end. For the season he averages 5.3 boards per game, grabbing 4.3 of those on the defensive end. Someone will have to make up for that and who better than Luka? As we saw against the Spurs last night he claimed 12 of them and with the way the Mavs attack will be set up, he will try to grab as many as possible and send a few outlet passes that will hopefully result in a few easy baskets.
