The Milwaukee Bucks (18-25, 9-11 Home) will try to get back on the right side of the scoreboard today when they host the Denver Nuggets 3-15, 18-7 Away). Tipoff is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. EST at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. WI, with coverage provided by Prime Video.
This matchup is not going to be the epic clash of titans fans have come to expect. Despite losing Nikola Jokic to an injury, the Nuggets have still been winning games, but they are no longer the dominant force they were. Since his knee injury on December 29, Denver has gone 7-5. As for the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo is healthy and active, but the problem has been more the underwhelming support cast around him. Losing Kevin Porter Jr and Myles Turner to injuries hasn’t helped matters.
Denver comes into this game fresh off a win over Washington Thursday night, and they’ve won five of their last seven games, including a 108-104 victory vs. the Bucks. As for Milwaukee, the Bucks last played on Wednesday, losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder 122-102, for their fifth loss in their last seven games. The Nuggets are third in the Western Conference, while Milwaukee is 1.5 games out of the play-in tournament.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Since neither team is performing at the level we have come to expect, it becomes a bit more challenging to pick a winner, outright or against the spread. But the OVER is 2-8 for Milwaukee in their last 10 home games. It’s gone 7-3 for Denver in its last ten road games, but that is due in part to teams scoring on a lackluster Nuggets defense. That will not be the case vs. the Bucks.
Our Denver vs. Milwaukee Pick: UNDER 221.5
