Mavericks at Nuggets odds, injury report, predictions, TV channel for Dec. 6

The Dallas Mavericks face the Denver Nuggets for the third time this season, but this will be the first in Denver and the first time facing reigning two-time MVP Nikola Jokic as he missed the first two in the health and safety protocols. The two teams split the two games in Dallas, so who will get the upper hand on Tuesday night?

Luka Doncic and company dominated the Suns on Monday night, so they will be on the second night of a back-to-back. Winning in Denver is always difficult, but doing it on the second of a back-to-back is even tougher.

It will be Doncic versus Jokic on Tuesday night, and fans won’t want to miss it. Here is a look at the odds, how to watch, and more.
