Dallas can't afford to slip up here in its quest for a playoff quest. The Nuggets weren't good to begin with and they are not nearly as good now minus their top player Danilo Gallinari. He was the one player they couldn't afford to lose. The Nuggets are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games.

The Mavericks have been getting a lift from a healthy Chandler Parsons and newcomer David Lee to go along with their other steady veterans. This is a game the well-coached, savvy Mavericks don't figure to lose.
