Milwaukee at Denver

The Milwaukee Bucks have a 2.5-game lead over the Boston Celtics in the NBA Eastern Conference, along with the best record in the NBA thus far this season. Denver is just 4 games behind the Bucks, so this is going to be a test for both teams to get an edge should they meet in the NBA Finals. The Bucks had a long 16-game winning streak to help define their season. The Bucks however have struggled vs the elite NBA teams as they are just 4-5 SU and 2-7 ATS on the season when taking on an opponent that is better than .600 on the season. Denver is 30-6 on the season at home and had a 24-1 run this season on their home court. I think the Bucks play vs elite teams creates questions, as does the strong home court of the Nuggets at altitude. Make the play on Denver.
