Milwaukee Bucks vs Denver Nuggets Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
The Denver Nuggets look to continue their winning ways when they head to Milwaukee to take on the defending champions in this NBA matchup. The visitors have been in a good run of form, winning four straight games with their latest a 116-105 away victory against the Pelicans. What makes this streak even more impressive is that Denver are in the middle of a lengthy six game road trip with the upcoming game against the Bucks the fourth in that stretch. Denver currently hold a record of 27-21 and have seen themselves move up the Western Conference standings to sixth. Their opponents today have seemingly recovered well after a slow start to the season. The Bucks now sit fifth in the East, and while it may sound underwhelming, they only trail the first place Miami Heat by 1.5 games. The hosts are coming off a 123-108 home victory against the Knicks and hold a record of 31-20.
This is a high-profile matchup between the two previous winners of the MVP award. Giannis Antetekoumpo and the Bucks come into this game as favorites due to their impressive home record of 18 wins and eight losses but the Nuggets have been in a good rhythm lately. The reigning MVP Nikola Jokic and his Nuggets team have won seven of their last 10 games and their recent four game winning streak has pushed their away record to a respectable 14-12. Both of these superstars will stuff their respective stat sheets but it’s the supporting cast where this game will likely be won or lost. Denver lately have been playing great team ball and getting some big contributions from a bench that is surprisingly deep. The Bucks have been winning their home games but not in the dominating fashion many had come accustomed to over the last few years. Milwaukee’s against the spread home record of 10-17 highlights that perhaps oddsmakers are giving this team a bit too much credit when playing at the Fiserv Forum.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
We’re going to take the underdogs and back the Nuggets to keep this one within the +6.5 point spread. The Bucks haven’t quite looked as strong as they have in recent years and the Nuggets are on a good run. This spread is just a tad bit too high for us to pass on the visitors in what should be a fun game between two of the NBA’s must-see stars.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
