The Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks face off tonight in what should be a very exciting basketball game. There are few NBA matches more exciting than when Nikola Jokic takes on Luka Doncic in a basketball game.

Jokic and Doncic have faced each other a total of sixteen times in the regular season throughout their careers. Surprisingly, Doncic and Jokic have an even record of 8-8 against each other. Hopefully tonight can be a moment where one of the two takes the lead.

The Dallas Mavericks have officially listed Luka Doncic as questionable against the Denver Nuggets due to a left groin strain.

Doncic played in all nine of the Mavericks’ regular season games this season. Most recently, he played in a loss to the Phoenix Suns on November 8, where he scored 30 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds on 44/42/100 shooting from the field. Through nine regular season games, Doncic is averaging 28.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists on 41/34/79 shooting from the field.

Neither the Denver Nuggets nor the Dallas Mavericks have the record many expected of them at this point in the season. However, if Denver wins tonight, they will be on a five-game winning streak with a comfortable 7-3 record.

The Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks face off tonight at 8:00 PM EST.
