BREAKING: Denver Nuggets Ready to Close Out Homestand Against Mavericks Amid Injury Concerns
The Denver Nuggets aim to cap off their impressive five-game homestand with a showdown against the defending Western Conference champions, the Dallas Mavericks. Denver has been dominant at home, boasting a four-game win streak, including a 135-122 victory over the Miami HEAT, which featured a season-high 135 points and 18 three-pointers at a scorching 51.4% accuracy.
Denver’s Jamal Murray returned from concussion protocols against Miami, scoring 28 points, while Nikola Jokić posted his fifth triple-double in nine games. Despite being down multiple players, including Vlatko Čančar and Aaron Gordon, the Nuggets are firing on all cylinders.
Dallas, however, faces potential setbacks with Luka Dončić questionable due to a groin strain, and several key players listed as doubtful. The Mavericks could be short-staffed as they aim to replicate last season’s success, highlighted by a Conference Finals appearance and the addition of Klay Thompson in the offseason.
