Let’s dive in!
Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 Alternate Spread (+140)
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 25.5 Points (-110)
Jrue Holiday To Record 8+ Assists (+220)
Parlay odds: +1139
Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 Alternate Spread (+140)
Since Khris Middleton returned to the lineup, the Bucks are undefeated, having beaten the Lakers, Thunder, Magic twice and the Pistons. Denver has lost three consecutive games without Nikola Jokic on the floor and could once again be without their MVP tonight. When he’s not on the floor the Nuggets have the worst Net Rating in the NBA, teams are outscoring them by 19 points per 100 possessions. Milwaukee ranks 6th in the NBA in three-pointers attempted, if those shots start falling early the Nuggets could be in trouble.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 25.5 Points (-110)
The main driving force behind every Milwaukee Bucks is their MVP. Antetokounmpo has been playing really well over the last 6 games averaging 28.5 points per game on 54% shooting from the field. In those 6 games he has gone over 25.5 Points 4 times and Antetokounmpo is being really aggressive and is making sure to give his team the best chance of winning every single night being productive on the offensive end. He is also making 1 three-pointer per game on 4 attempts and he is doing all this in just 31.8 minutes a game. In his last 4 games against the Nuggets, the Greek Freak has scored 27, 30, 31, and 29 points. If Jokić isn’t able to go, the middle will be wide open for the Bucks’ star to exploit. Tip Antetokounmpo to dominate in this one.
Jrue Holiday To Record 8+ Assists (+220)
Holiday has had a really solid month of November since returning to the lineup. And I think he will only get better as time progresses. In his last 7 games he has recorded 8 or more assists in 3 of them, including a 13 assist night against the Boston Celtics. In his career he has faced the Nuggets 25 times and is averaging 7.1 assists per game. In 2 of his last 3 most recent games he has had 8 assists or more. With both Antetokounmpo and Middleton on the floor, plus an in-form spot up shooter like Bobby Ports, Holiday has plenty of options on offense. Reaching 8 assists shouldn’t be too hard.
