The Denver Nuggets will try and win their third straight Monday and widen their lead in the weak Northwest division when they host the Milwaukee Bucks.
In a game without division or conference implications, the 30-26 Nuggets challenge the 28-28 Bucks.
The Nuggets are favored, opening as 6-point chalk, with an opening total of 199. They are 30-26 this season and 28-28-0 OU. The Bucks are 28-28 and are 15-22 OU.
The Bucks are coming off a 99-89 win against the Hawks, a game where they were a 1.5-point favorite. That game went under the closing total of 196.5.
Denver won at Minnesota last game as a 2-point underdog against the Timberwolves, winning 102-101. The total sailed over.
Expect the league's #3 offence to chuck in lots of points and generate trouble for the Bucks defence. Averaging 100.6 points per game, the Nuggets can run up the score if they get on a roll.
Some trends to consider:
Milwaukee is 1-5-1 OU in its last 7 games
Milwaukee is 2-8-0 SU in its last 10 games after scoring 90 to 100 points
Milwaukee is 1-3-1 ATS in its last 5 games
Milwaukee is 1-4-0 SU in its last 5 games after being .5 to 3 point favorites
