💰 Best Nuggets vs. Mavericks prop bet: Cooper Flagg Over 22.5 points (-112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Check out all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.
The Nuggets have had no answer for Flagg, as he has scored 24 or more points in both meetings against Denver.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft put up 33 points against the Nuggets the last time he faced them - a home win on Dec. 23 - going 14 of 21 from the field, including 4 of 6 from beyond the arc. When he played Denver on Dec. 1, he scored 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting from the field. He has been aggressive against the Nuggets, and Denver has struggled to contain him.
🔥 More Nuggets vs. Mavericks prop picks
Aaron Gordon Over 18.5 points (-112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Denver has seven players who are either out or questionable tonight, so Gordon will likely step up for the Nuggets - especially if Murray sits.
Gordon has been ramping up his minutes after returning from injury, playing 30 or more minutes in back-to-back games. He attempted 15 or more shots in each outing, which is a good sign moving forward for Over bettors. He scored 23 points against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday, and while he put up just 16 against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, he shot just 40% from the field - don’t expect that to continue.
P.J. Washington Under 13.5 points (-108) ⭐⭐⭐
Not only has Washington struggled to score in recent games, but he has also put up eight or fewer points in each of the last two times he’s faced the Nuggets.
Washington has scored 11 or fewer points in three straight games overall, averaging just 6.3 points during that span. He has missed four consecutive games with an ankle injury, and if he returns tonight, it could be a perfect storm to go Under his points - potentially being on a minutes restriction while facing a team he’s struggled against recently.
