No Nikola Jokic. No problem. Denver is 7-3 in its last 10 games despite not having the league's best player. The Nuggets are seeking their sixth consecutive road victory. They have covered seven of their previous eight away games after defeating the Wizards, 107-97, as a six-point favorite the last night. Peyton Watson stepped up to score a career-high 35 points for Denver against the Wizards, with Jamal Murray adding 24 points. Murray has scored 20 or more points in 14 of his last 15 games. Denver has the best record in the NBA at 18-7. Milwaukee is 9-11 at home. The Bucks have lost four of their last five games. They have low morale amid constant rumors that superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is being traded. Antetokounmpo had 31 points against the Nuggets in the first meeting between the two teams on Jan. 11 in Denver. Yet the Nuggets used a balanced attack to win, 98-94, as 6-point underdogs. Take the Nuggets.

The Milwaukee Bucks have covered five of their last seven games, including the past three in a row with ATS wins at the Suns, Kings, and Lakers. As a dog, Milwaukee is on a 7-3-1 ATS run, and all three losses were on zero rest. Denver is banged up, with Nikola Jokic nursing an elbow and ankle injury. There is a chance he plays tonight, but he won't be nearly 100%. He is one of three Nuggets on the injury report, and collectively, those three score an average of 58 PPG, which is a lot to overcome. Grab the points with Milwaukee.

Denver at Milwaukee

These teams both got off to somewhat of a slow start, but they are clicking now, especially Denver. The Nuggets have won nine of their last 10 games and six off the 10 games have played UNDER the total. The Bucks have picked up the defense as well, as seven of their last 10 games have gone UNDER. Looking at the bigger picture these teams have combined to score 240 or more points in just 37 of their 115 combined games played this season. These teams have only played seven games with a posted total of greater than 224 points, and are 5-2 to the UNDER in those games. I like this one to play UNDER the total.
