📊 Nuggets vs. Bucks pick & odds: Who will win tonight's NBA matchup?

🔢 Nuggets vs. Bucks odds & betting lines

Here are the latest Nuggets vs. Bucks odds and betting lines from our best live betting sites.

🎯 Nuggets vs. Bucks score prediction: Nuggets 126, Bucks 123

I’m not crazy about betting the spread in this one, and I’m not thrilled to bet the moneyline, either. Denver has won nine of 10, and Milwaukee has won six of 10. The Bucks are a healthy 19-9 straight up at home, and the Nuggets are 18-11 on the road.

At 121.3 points per game, Denver sports one of the highest-scoring offenses in the Association. It has surrendered 116 per game, leading to plenty of high-scoring affairs. As such, I'm much more comfortable betting the point total here.

That said, I’m leaning on Denver to win a close game. Each team has a formidable one-two punch in Antetokounmpo-Lillard and Jokic-Jamal Murray, but the Nuggets’ starting five is more talented from top to bottom.

Denver (38-20) owns the fourth-best record in the NBA, and the team is 14-7 straight up as the road favorite. Milwaukee is 6-11 as the underdog and 2-2 as the home dog. Denver has won 32 of 45 games as the favorite this season, so I’ll give the edge to the Nuggets in what should be a close and high-scoring matchup.

I predict the visitors will beat the hosts by a final score of Nuggets 126, Bucks 123.

Best bet: Over 239.5 (-105 via Caesars)

💰 Best Nuggets vs. Bucks player prop bet odds & expert picks: Feb. 27

Here are my best Nuggets vs. Bucks player prop bet odds and expert picks for tonight's NBA matchup. You can also check out our NBA player prop odds tool for the latest NBA odds at the best legal sportsbooks in your region.

🏀 Best Giannis Antetokounmpo prop pick: Over 45.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -125 via Caesars ($10 to win $8)

Antetokounmpo returned from the All-Star break on a minutes restriction, and logged limited minutes in his first two games. He’s played 32 minutes in each of his last two and posted 43 and 46 PRA in those games.

Antetokounmpo is averaging 48.8 PRA on the year, and he’s hit the Over on tonight's line in 30 of 45 matchups. That’s good for 67% of his appearances, and we’re getting this line at a significant discount.

Giannis has averaged 45 PRA overall and 47.1 at home in his last eight meetings with the Nuggets. He’s hit the Over in his last two tilts with Jokic and Co., and I expect him to do it again tonight.

📊 Best Giannis Antetokounmpo prop bet odds

🏀 Best Nikola Jokic prop pick: Over 49.5 points + rebounds + assists ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -120 via DraftKings ($10 to win $8.33)

Joker has been an absolute menace racking up counting stats this season. He’s averaging a career-best 52.2 PRA and has hit the Over in 34 of 52 appearances.

The Nuggets' big man has posted at least 50 PRA in 65.4% of his games this season, so we should expect much shorter odds. I’m happy to take advantage of the mispriced line and its implied probability of just 54.55%.

The reigning MVP has averaged 50.7 PRA against the Bucks across his last six meetings, hitting the Over four times. Jokic has hit the Over in 13 of 26 games on the road, including two of his last four.

📊 Best Nikola Jokic prop bet odds

🏀 Best Brook Lopez prop pick: Over 12.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -105 via DraftKings ($10 to win $9.52)

Lopez is averaging exactly 12.5 points per game this season, so we just need an average scoring performance tonight. Lopez has been better than average over the last month, so I’m happy to lean into this modest line.

Lopez has averaged 13.4 points at Fiserv Forum compared to just 11.5 at all other venues, making this prop even more attractive. He’s scored 13 or more in 28 of 56 games this season.

He’s averaged 14.6 points in February and hit the Over on this line seven times - that includes three of his last four matchups. The Nuggets have allowed 22.6 points to opposing centers this season. Over the last 15, Denver has surrendered 24 points to the position, good for fifth-most.
