Playoff Game #3: Mavericks vs Nuggets

I haven't covered the Mavs/Nuggets games yet. And now that Dirk sent his fiance to the slammer, I think Game 3 is going to have a little extra buzz to it. It seems that the Nuggets are the favorites by far. What does it mean? Well, it boils down to the record, the margin of victory, and so on... And the fact the Mavs lost six in a row to the Nuggets (0-4 in regular season and 0-2 in the playoffs), I would say the Mavs are due. And rightfully so, they should be the "underdog".
Of fourteen predictions... the Mavericks have a 14.3% chance to win this series. And to be honest, I am a little surprised that none of the fourteen predicted a Nuggett sweep.
The one with the "X" are the underdog in the starting matchup. I was actually torn between Kidd and Billups. Kidd is much better than Billups in a great deal of ways, but Billups gets his points.

Forecast: Mavericks win this one 98-93. Why? They cancelled the pre-nup.
