The Pick: Denver +8.0 at -110 (bet365)
One of the better games in the NBA on Wednesday night will come from Milwaukee. The Denver Nuggets, who have a winning record as visitors, will face the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks, who have not been razor sharp in recent weeks, will host the game with a start time of 8:00 PM ET.
The Nuggets are heading into the game as large underdogs, with the spread set at +8.0 (bet365). That handicap is large enough for bettors to take given the situation with Milwaukee’s form.

For instance, the Bucks have a losing record since December 20th at 8-9. Despite a 17-5 record when hosting, Milwaukee has had some bad losses as host in recent weeks. During the current calendar month, the Bucks have lost to both Washington and Charlotte — and each loss was by a very large spread.

Also, if you applied a +8.0 handicap to their results over the same span of games, then they would be 19-1. They enter Wednesday with a couple of day-to-day concerns in their depth chart.
