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.
