Dallas Mavericks Form

Dallas come into this game on a good run that has seen them win five of the last six despite dealing with several injuries.

The Mavericks stumbled during the second half of November and started December with a couple of defeats.

However, they got back on track with a 147-97 demolition of Utah at home, which was followed up by a 125-112 win in Portland and 120-113 victory at Memphis.

Dallas then returned home to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 127-125, but their streak was ended at four games by a 119-101 loss to Minnesota.

The Mavericks bounced back on Saturday night though, as they went back to Portland and won 131-120.

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver enter this big Western Conference matchup on the back of their fourth defeat in their last seven games.

The Nuggets enjoyed a four-game win streak at the end of November, but saw their form dip at the start of December.

They lost 123-117 in Sacramento and 111-102 at the LA Clippers, before returning home to suffer a 114-106 defeat at the hands of Houston.

Denver stopped the rot in Atlanta though, beating the Hawks 129-122, and they followed that up with a 114-106 win in Chicago.

The Nuggets then beat Brooklyn 124-101 at home, only to see their run end at three games with a 118-117 loss to Oklahoma City.
