Dallas Mavericks Vs Denver Nuggets Game Day Preview
The Dallas Mavericks are heading to Denver to take on the Nuggets. The Mavs were impressive with a recent 13-point win over the Rockets. The Nuggets have been trending upward by winning their last two games after a tough 1-4 start to the 2020-21 NBA season.
Dallas Mavericks
A day off seemed to have worked wonders for Luka Doncic.
As a result of a brief rest in Chicago, Doncic recorded his first triple-double of the season in Dallas’ road win at Houston on Monday night. He goes for his second triple-double in Denver.
It says a lot about the expectations of Luca Doncic when a 33-point, 16-rebound and 11-assist performance against Houston is considered a breakout. In four of his other five games, he has averaged 28 points, 9.0 rebounds and 6.7 assists and has scored in double figures in all six games he has played.
Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said Doncic’s slow start was due, in part, to the upheaval of the NBA schedule.
“His preparation schedule was thrown off, and he just got behind the curve,” Carlisle said after the Houston game.
Denver Nuggets
From a Nuggets perspective, just keep your eyes locked on Nikola Jokic. He is averaging a triple-double this season!
Today, the Nuggets star leads the the NBA in assists (11.9 per game) – ranks fifth in rebounding (11.7) – and is 16th in scoring (24.1). Only Westbrook and Oscar Robertson have averaged a triple-double for an entire season, but Jokic has that capability.
The only negative part of Jokic’s game, he is leading the NBA with 5.1 turnovers per game. However coach Michael Malone, is not concerned.
“The best players in the NBA have the ball in their hands a ton. Much is asked of them.” – Coach Malone
