Milwaukee Bucks vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

It’s hard to lay points with the Nuggets when they’re down their best player in Jokic, and there’s a chance Gordon won’t play either. However, the Bucks haven’t been good on the road this season, where they’ve lost 19 times. The Bucks also just suffered a big blow with the blood clot news with Lillard, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see a sluggish performance out of the gate. Not only will the Bucks be down Lillard, but it’s a scary situation, and guys may have their minds somewhere else with the quick turnaround. The home team is 5-0 SU and 4-0-1 ATS in the last five games between the Bucks and Nuggets. I’ll lay the points with the Nuggets at home.
