Denver Nuggets at Milwaukee Bucks Betting Tips:
What an L by the NBA not to have this game on national TV. The Sixers against the Nets with KD wouldn’t be as interesting as this, but he won’t even be playing! We’re talking about the two of the biggest stars in the league who have the last four MVP trophies. Come on, man.
The good news is that you can watch this one if you want to. There are ways. The even better news is that you can bet on it.
The Bucks just got back Giannis and Middleton and really blew the doors off the Pistons in the last game. They scored 150 in that game with Giannis looking sharp as ever with a 29/17 game in just 27 minutes. I am looking for another big one for him here. Not sure what his points prop will be here, but he has scored 27+ in four of his last five games against the Nuggets. He has really carried the load offensively this year and Middleton isn’t quite strong enough to help out with that load just yet.
Jokic looks like a great bet for Points/Rebounds/Assists as well, but again I need to see the number to be sure. He has posted triple-doubles in six of his last seven games. The only one that he didn’t was a 21/18/9 game in just 28 minutes.
I do like the over for this game quite a bit though. The Bucks offense is coming off that 150 game while the Nuggets are averaging 117.9 over their last ten, and that includes back-to-back 99-point games. Milwaukee has more home overs than any team in the league with a 16-7 Over/Under record at home. Denver is on a back-to-back here and they are 5-1 Over/Under with no rest.
I like the over here. I will post some player props for this one as well on Patreon if they look good.
Nuggets/Bucks Over 225.5
Memphis Grizzlies at Golden State Warriors Betting Tips:
This is one of the best schedule nights of the season. So many great games and this is definitely one of the most interesting.
The Warriors eliminated Memphis from the playoffs last season on their way to the championship, but Memphis has come back extremely strong this season and looks prepared to make that leap. Despite their record the West still goes through Golden State and they have looked incredible at home this season.
The Warriors are 17-6 and 14-8-1 against the spread at home this season. However, they have lost their last four games at home. It’s really hard to imagine them losing five straight there, but this is not an easy match-up.
This will be the fourth game of a road trip for the Grizzlies and they have lost their first three, dropping games to the Lakers, Suns, and Kings. Memphis is 8-15-1 against the spread on the road, 11-13 overall. They are without Steven Adams here which should help the Warriors.
This could be a good one, but I have to go with the Warriors at close to full strength.
Warriors -2.5
