Milwaukee at Denver

Neither of these teams has played up to their level of talent. Recently, however, the Bucks have won five straight, and the Nuggets, once 9-4, have slipped to .500 with five straight losses. Despite the winning streak, the Bucks are still 5-10 ATS in their last 15 games. All five of the Bucks wins came at home during a five-game homestand. The Bucks are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine posted as a favorite of fewer than 13 points. This is a tough place to play at altitude, and Denver is 2-0 ATS as a home dog. This might be just the kind of game the Nuggets need against a quality team at home. I look for them to step it up here. Make the play on Denver.
