Nuggets vs. Mavericks Public Betting: Bettors leaning towards Cleveland

Our NBA Public Betting Information page indicates that 54% of public bettors are currently backing the Cavs when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.

Jokic is probable despite illness

Nikola Jokic (illness) is probable for Tuesday’s matchup with the Mavericks. Jokic has played in their last two games after missing the previous two with this illness. Apparently, he is still managing it, but it isn’t expected to keep him out of the lineup. Jokic put up 19 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists against Dallas on Sunday and should be in for another big night on Tuesday.

Irving questionable to face Denver

Kyrie Irving is questionable for Tuesday’s matchup with Denver due to a lumbar back sprain. Irving was given a 1-2 week timeline for recovery on January 6, and the questionable tag suggests that he’s closer to returning in one week than in two. If he’s given the green light to face the Nuggets, Jaden Hardy and Quentin Grimes would see their roles reduced.
