The 3rd place (Northwest) Denver Nuggets will look to turn around a two game losing streak in NBA betting odds when they travel to take on the 3rd place (Central) Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday evening at 9:00pm EST. The Nuggets vs Bucks will tip-off from the Bradley Center on ESPN basketball and can also be seen online at ESPN3.com. Online sportsbooks have opened with the Bucks -1.5 home favorites in Vegas NBA odds at home vs the Nuggets with an over/under total of 200.5.
Bookmakers also have Milwaukee -125 NBA betting favorites in money line odds vs Denver +105 for Wednesday's game on ESPN. The Nuggets were able to pull out a 121-120 stunner at the Mavericks last Thursday but have since followed that up with two straight losses at home vs the Grizzlies (108-116) and the Rockets (102-121) on Monday night. Denver lost by a staggering 19-points and didn't even come close to covering the 2.5-point spread in Vegas NBA odds to drop down to 23-30-3 ATS for the season. The trade deadline is right around the corner and although the departure of Carmelo Anthony has been the main rumor circulating around the NBA, it doesn't look like the All-Star forward will be going anywhere during the current losing streak.
Milwaukee heads into tonight's match-up as Vegas NBA betting favorites at home but only rank 30th overall in points per game. The Bucks just came off a three game losing streak to the Wizards (85-100), Grizzlies (86-89) and Pacers (97-103) before a demanding win on the road vs the Clippers (102-78) on Monday night. Milwaukee won by 24-points and blew by the 6-point spread as favorites in NBA odds to go 26-27-1 ATS. The Bucks were able to spread the ball around which resulted in 25-assists vs the Clippers and have gone 8-3 when they average more than 23-assists per game but just 4-6 straight up after a win.
Vegas NBA Picks: Milwaukee Bucks -1.5
