The Denver Nuggets will look to win their second game in three days over the Dallas Mavericks when they meet in a Western Conference matchup on Tuesday night. Denver defeated Dallas 112-101 on Sunday, as these teams have split their last dozen matchups. Dallas will continue to be without point guard Luka Doncic, who suffered a calf strain on Christmas Day. Guard Kyrie Irving (back) is questionable. Nikola Jokic (illness) is probable for Denver.
