Milwaukee and Denver each are 41-35. The Nuggets, though, have the disadvantage of being in the Western Conference so they are two games out of the last playoff spot. This is must-win time for them.

Denver is much stronger at home going 27-10 at Pepsi Center compared to 14-25 on the road.

The Bucks are five games up on the Pistons for the last spot in the Eastern Conference. I don't see the Bucks being as intense as the Nuggets here. This the Bucks' fourth road game in six days and third game in four days. They are coming off consecutive victores versus the Warriors and Lakers in overtime. The Bucks return home after this game so a letdown very much could be in store.

The Bucks are just 7-14 ATS in their last 21 games despite winning their last two games.
