Nuggets at Bucks picks and predictions
Prediction
Bucks 117, Nuggets 107
Moneyline
PASS.
Taking Milwaukee (-310) to win straight up isn’t worth doing at the current odds.
Against the spread
With the Nuggets playing the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, BUCKS -7.5 (-115) is an enticing bet. This is a spread that makes it seem as if Denver will be without either or both of C Nikola Jokic and G Jamal Murray.
Even though the trends point toward the Nuggets covering, the Bucks have F Giannis Antetokounmpo back and they are at home.
Over/Under
UNDER 233.5 (-108) is how I’d wager on the total in this matchup. Assuming that Denver rests a couple of starters on a back-to-back, there could be less scoring than expected.
The Nuggets have gone 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 games following an ATS loss.
