The Nuggets are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 road games and 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

The Denver Nuggets have been hit or miss all season long, they're not covering numbers lately, and they're not as sharp on the road as they are at home. The Milwaukee Bucks are getting healthy, they're having a hot week, and they win at home by an average of six points. Steep number, and it can be tough to turn down free buckets with the Nuggets, but this line feels like oddsmakers are begging you to side with Denver. Give me the Bucks and the chalk at home.
