Nuggets at Bucks and predictions
Prediction
Nuggets 114, Bucks 110
Moneyline
The Nuggets have won 3 of the last 4 meetings, and for the price, they feel like the safer side. You can take Nuggets -115 here, but it's probably wiser to take the spread.
PASS.
Against the spread
The NUGGETS -1.5 (-105) is cheaper when you lay the point-and-a-half. Denver is 6-4 against the Bucks in the last 10, and each of those wins were by 6+ points. Denver has covered in 7 of 10 against the Bucks.
Over/Under
They have cashed 3 straight Unders against one another. Denver is 2-8 O/U over the last 10, and Milwaukee is 3-7.
That's enough for me to take the UNDER 231.5 (-110).
