On the whole, Dallas is a bigger online sportsbook brand than the Nuggets.  Cause by their long record of being an NBA championship contender.  Owner Mark Cuban’s marketing has contributed to the public imaging of the Mavericks as well.  This factor can often make Dallas overpriced on the board like their football cousin Cowboys.

By contrast, the Nuggets often show good value as a quality team that is consistently ignored.  Jokic makes Denver a threat to win any game they play.  Sharps have long respected the Nuggets as a hidden gem.
