Today's best bet: DENVER NUGGETS (-51/2) over Dallas Mavericks
The Nuggets have covered their last five meetings with the Mavericks, winning both matchups this season, including a 98-88 Dec. 15 road win. Denver is missing Carmelo Anthony, but Dallas is without Josh Howard. The Nuggets had their five-game win streak snapped by Detroit last time out, but look for them to get back on track tonight.
