Both the Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks are shooting over 50 percent from the floor through the first half of their Monday night matchup, but it's the Mavs who lead 63-56 at the Pepsi Center. The Mavericks are gunning for their fourth straight win, and if they continue shooting as well as they currently are, they will be on track to get it.
