Basketball Betting Lines

02/08/2012 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 points and pulled down nine rebounds as the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Denver Nuggets 105-95 at Pepsi Center on Wednesday.

Dallas had five players in double figures, including 17 from Vince Carter and 13 points apiece from Shawn Marion and Rodrigue Beaubois as the Mavericks snapped a three-game losing streak.

Al Harrington and Rudy Fernandez each scored 17 points, and Ty Lawson added a 16 point, 10 assist performance for the Nuggets, who have lost four straight games, and six of their last seven.

The Mavericks trailed only once in the game at 5-3 as they took an early 33-25 advantage at the end of the first quarter.

Dallas added to its lead as a Brandan Wright putback capped a 10-2 Mavericks run to give them a 49-33 lead with seven minutes to play in the half.

The Nuggets made a 10-1 run late in the second, but Marion's three-pointer put the Mavericks back up double-digits, 64-53.

Denver turned the ball over nine times in the first half, allowing the Mavericks to lead by as many as 17 early on.

Denver got itself back in the game with a 12-2 run that cut the deficit to nine, 87-78, going into the final stanza.

An Aaron Afflalo layup to start the fourth made it a seven-point difference, but the home team would get no closer as Dallas reclaimed, then maintained a double-digit lead for the majority of the quarter to take home the 10-point victory.

With the game in hand, Nowitzki's jumper with 1:36 to play put him ahead of Adrian Dantley (23,177) for 21st all-time on the NBA scoring list. Nowitzki now has 23,178 career points.
