Denver Nuggets Betting Preview

The Denver Nuggets have been on a tear as they've won 10 of their last 11 games overall and they will be eager to stay hot after outlasting the in-form Pacers in a 125-116 road win on Monday. Aaron Gordon led the team with 25 points on 11 of 17 shooting in just 24 minutes of action, Michael Porter Jr added 19 points with 11 rebounds and three assists while Nikola Jokic tallied 18 points with nine rebounds and 19 assists. As a team, the Nuggets shot a healthy 56 percent from the field and eight of 21 from the 3-point line. The starters set the tone with 36 points in the first quarter, but the Pacers were good enough to hang around until the Nuggets poured in another 36 points in the third quarter to push the lead out to 17 points. The Nuggets will face the Pistons, Celtics, Kings, and Suns following this one.

Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in decent shape as they've won six of their last nine games overall. But they will be hoping to bounce back after having their four-game win streak halted by the Rockets in a 100-97 road defeat on Tuesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 27 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists, Damian Lillard added 22 points while Brook Lopez chipped in with 12 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks. As a team, the Bucks shot just 40 percent from the field and 12 of 37 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the pesky Rockets in a tight contest until they went cold and scored just two points in the final 2:02 to allow the Rockets to slip away with free throws down the stretch. The Bucks will take on the Mavericks after this game.

  • The Nuggets have lost three of their last four night games against Central Division opponents that held a winning record.

Denver Nuggets vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The Nuggets are expecting to show up with the same squad in this one, while the Bucks are still playing without Pat Connaughton. The Nuggets suffered a hiccup in their loss to the Lakers, but they got back to work with a solid win over an in-form Pacers team on Monday, so I am surprised they aren't bigger favorites here. Sure the Bucks are relatively healthy and playing at home, but the Nuggets are currently one of the hottest teams in the league. They just look so connected on the offensive end, and their role players like Gordon and Porter Jr have been heating up lately. Give me the Nuggets to stay hot with a win and cover at the short line in this spot.
