On March 26, 2025, the Milwaukee Bucks (40-31) will face the Denver Nuggets (45-28) at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. The Bucks are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Nuggets hold the third position in the Western Conference. They have been dominant at home, boasting a 23-12 record. Led by MVP candidates Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, Denver has been a formidable opponent this season.
Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to be a driving force for Milwaukee, averaging 30.2 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. His versatile play and leadership are crucial to the Bucks' success. Nikola Jokic leads the Nuggets with averages of 29.1 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 10.3 assists per game, showcasing his unique playmaking abilities for a big man.

Check out Brad’s BEST PICKS, including his $19 PICK OF THE DAY!
Brook Lopez Over 13.5 Points
Brook Lopez is averaging 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 49.7%. Lopez's contributions have been pivotal to the Bucks' success this season, providing a reliable scoring option in the paint and contributing significantly to the team's rebounding efforts. Brook Lopez is coming off two games where he scored 20+ points. He has scored 20+ points in 4 of his last 10 games, so he’s fully capable of soaring over this number. I’m going to ride the hot hand in this one, especially with the questionable availability of Jokic.
Christian Braun Under 5.5 Rebounds
Over 70 games, Braun is averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 57.4%. He’s been a solid role player for this Nuggets team, but has secured less than 6 rebounds in his last 5 games. I’m surprised oddsmakers haven’t yet adjusted this line. This isn’t an easy matchup for him either, with the Bucks being one of the better rebounding teams in the league.
Jamal Murray Over 2.5 Three Pointers
Jamal Murray, the point guard for the Denver Nuggets, is delivering strong performances in the 2024-25 NBA season. Over 63 games, he averages 21.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 47.6%. Regarding his three-point shooting, Murray has made 149 three-pointers this season. He attempts an average of 5.9 three-pointers per game, resulting in a three-point shooting percentage of approximately 39.9%. He’s coming off back-to-back games where he hit 4 three pointers and has hit 3+ three pointers in 5 of his last 8 games.
