The Mavericks are set for the return of one-half of their dynamic backcourt duo. After missing Dallas’ last five games, Kyrie Irving is set to return to the lineup Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets. Jason Kidd said pregame that Irving would return to the floor vs. Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.

The last two teams to win the Western Conference meet up for the second time in three days when the Dallas Mavericks host the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, Jan. 14 at American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Mavericks fans going to Tuesday's game might be disappointed given the experts' predictions. They will look to defend their home court on Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets at 9:30 p.m. ET at American Airlines Center.
