FanDuel. Christian Braun has cleared this line in nine of his last 12 games without Aaron Gordon, who is inactive tonight. With Peyton Watson not starting, it tells me he’s still on a strict minutes limit. Look for Braun to play third fiddle for the Nuggets in what should be a fast paced matchup.

We have a total of 245.5 for Mavericks-Nuggets, and Aaron Gordon is out. While Peyton Watson returns, this is still a great spot for Christian Braun. He's cleared this prop total in six of his last eight games, the two misses coming by a half-point. He has shot over 50 percent in six straight games. Look for at least 12 points from Braun on Wednesday.

Denver got away with a sloppy performance win last night against the Phoenix Suns. As part of the NBC double header they were in an abnormal late time slot, that I expect to impact them tonight after traveling in from Phoenix. Denver has also scored over 121 points in eight out of their last nine games. This is a healthier Mavericks team this time around, which we saw in the first two matchups against Denver result in 252 and 261 points. Take the over.

Peyton Watson scored 14 points over 20 minutes against the Trail Blazers on Friday in his return from injury. The Nuggets sat him Tuesday against the Suns because they didn’t want him to play in both halves of their back-to-back set. I think Aaron Gordon will sit for rest Wednesday. He also has not played consecutive days since returning from an injury of his own. Watson could play around 25 minutes against a Mavericks team that has the fifth-worst defensive rating in the league over their last 10 games. Watson averages 14.9 points per game for the season, so I’ll bite on this discount and take the over.
