For now though, let’s focus on our same-game parlay!
Dallas Mavericks Win Margin 1 – 10 Pts (+200)
Luka Doncic Over 27.5 Points (-110)
Tim Hardaway Jr. Under 3.5 Made Threes (-146)
Parlay odds: +835
Dallas Mavericks Win Margin 1 – 10 Pts (+200)
Although they are 3-1 on the young season, the Mavericks have been far from convincing. They rank only 22nd in offensive efficiency and their most convincing was a 10-point victory over the Houston Rockets. The Nuggets certainly won’t be a pushover here, however they could be without their best player Nikola Jokic which would be a massive blow. No player on their team averages more than 16.3 points per game. It’s a nationally televised game and I expect it to be a close one, with the Mavericks coming out on top by single digits.
Our full predictions for Dallas Mavericks vs Denver Nuggets is also available.
Luka Doncic Over 27.5 Points (-110)
We are 4 games into the new season and Doncic is yet to have a 30-point performance. What gives? Well, his shooting has been somewhat off in the first few games of the new season, which is understandable as he gets back into playing shape. From the field he’s shooting 44.7% and from deep he’s at 25.8% which isn’t all that impressive for someone who was picked by quite a few people to win the MVP award this season. But we’re talking about a once in a lifetime talent here, it’s only a matter of time until his numbers go up. We saw that in the Mavs’ latest win over San Antonio where he shot 57.9% from the field and had 25 points. With the news of Kristaps Porzingis possibly missing this game, Luka’s responsibilities on the offensive end will be even bigger which should result in a higher point total.
Tim Hardaway Jr. Under 3.5 Made Threes (-146)
He’s known to get hot from the three-point line on occasions, but that has rarely happened this season so far. In the 4 regular season games and 3 pre-season games he’s finished Under 3.5 made threes in 5 of those. Plus he is coming off a really bad game against the San Antonio Spurs the other night where he finished with only 6 points on 2-for-8 shooting from the field. In the past two games he’s made just 3 of his 11 attempts from downtown and his confidence might be shaken.
