Milwaukee Bucks vs Denver Nuggets Player Prop Picks 3/26/25 NBA Picks

​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. In their most recent game, they narrowly lost to the Phoenix Suns with a final score of 108-106. Despite the close loss, the team has maintained a strong season overall. 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.

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.
