Bucks vs Nuggets Prediction, Picks and NBA Prop Bets: Bet Nuggets, Murray 23+ Points on March 26

I know, it’s only Wednesday, but on the flip side, we’ve got one of the better NBA matchups to look forward to – Bucks vs. Nuggets. It’s been nearly a month since these teams last matched up, and with both coming off upset losses, we’re in for a good one tonight.

Let’s break down the NBA odds and see who’s due for a bounce-back win before the playoffs kick off.

Bucks vs Nuggets Prediction

The Mile High squad may be without C Nikola Jokic (per updated Bucks vs Nuggets injuries), and if so, expect the Nuggets to struggle a bit. Milwaukee will aim to push the tempo against a Denver defense that’s, well, not the best, allowing 117 points per game. However, the Nuggets typically show up against tougher teams, and with PG Jamal Murray stepping up lately, I’m backing Denver. NBA game predictions? Nuggets 124, Bucks 118.

Bucks vs Nuggets 3 Best NBA Player Props Today

1. Jamal Murray 23+ Points (-167)

With Jokic out these past few games, it’s been all Jamal Murray on the scoring front, and I’m doubling down on the clutch shot-maker to score 23+ points for my top NBA player prop pick tonight. Look, with Milwaukee already short-handed in the point guard department and Murray coming off a 28-point game in a loss, I’m expecting him to come out gunning, try racking up points early on, and split this season series.

Bet on Jamal Murray to score 23+ points (-167)

2. Russell Westbrook 15+ Points (-106)

For your next NBA player prop, bank on PG Russell Westbrook to score 15+ points. Westbrook has been a reliable contributor for Denver all season, and with Milwaukee struggling defensively – giving up 20.5 free throws per game and allowing opponents to shoot 45.4% inside the arc – this sets up perfectly for Westbrook to tear up the Bucks’ paint in transition. Keep in mind, he’s notched 12+ points for five consecutive games.

3. Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 6.5 Assists (-114)

Need another one of my NBA picks? Take PF Giannis Antetokounmpo to finish under 6.5 assists. We know the ‘Greek Freak’ isn’t selfish, but he’ll need to be tonight if Milwaukee wants to walk away with the win. With PG Damian Lillard possibly sidelined, it’s up to Antetokounmpo to carry the scoring load (again) and help position the Bucks better for the playoffs. Bet online for Antetokounmpo to stay under 5.5 assists.

Bucks vs Nuggets Moneyline Pick

Despite both teams having key players questionable, this is still shaping up to be a closer game. The Bucks have struggled on their West Coast road trip, and even if Denver is missing Jokic, I like their chances with homecourt advantage on their side. Not to mention, the Deer have had issues defending the paint, which could open up opportunities for Denver’s offense to get going early. Ride the Denver Nuggets on the moneyline.

Bucks vs Nuggets Spread Pick

Moneyline or NBA lines, it doesn’t matter – I’m still going with the Mile High City here. Even though Denver hasn’t been playing up to their potential in terms of NBA championship odds, I’m counting on them to snap back and handle a Milwaukee team they could’ve beaten a month ago. With or without Jokic, this Nuggets team has offensive weapons that the Bucks will struggle to match up with. Take the Nuggets, minus the points.

Bet on Nuggets -6 (-110)

Bucks vs Nuggets Over/Under Pick

This game might seem like it will go under, considering Lillard and Jokic’s status is up in the air, and the last time these teams played, the under hit. However, I’m going with the over. Between Denver ranking toward the bottom in points allowed per game and the Bucks letting teams shoot nearly 46% inside the arc, this game will come down to which offense is more efficient. In other words, take the over.

Bet on Bucks vs Nuggets Over 225 (-110)
