This is a very short price to lay against the league's worst team. The Bucks are 10-43 on the season including 6-21 at home. Granted, Denver isn't great and they are missing some key parts due to injuries, but this is a borderline playoff team and they should get the win here. Denver's defense is bad but the Bucks won't be able to take advantage of that as they average just 91.3 points per game at home. Compare that to the 103 per game Denver scores on the road. Denver handed Milwaukee a 10-point loss in their meeting earlier this month and the Bucks are just 3-17 this season when revenging a loss. Finally, Bucks' head coach Larry Drew is just 3-37 in his coaching career vs. teams that score 103+ points per game. This one goes to the Nuggets.
