Mavericks vs. Nuggets: Previewing Game 2

The Dallas Mavericks will travel to Denver to face the Nuggets in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series on Friday night. The Nuggets won Game 1 107-108.

The Mavericks will need to shoot better from the field if they want to win Game 2. They also need to find a way to slow down Nikola Jokic, who had 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists in Game 1.

The Nuggets are a tough opponent, but the Mavericks have won two of the three meetings between the two teams this season.
