OK, hitting this now that Nikola Jokic is out. Plus, remember, the Nuggets recently also lost PJ Dozier to a torn ACL. They are just devastated right now. I don't like the spread, though.

It's been a rough stretch for the Nuggets, who have lost five straight games. Three of those games came with Nikola Jokic (wrist) out, and he might not be back for this game, either, since he’s listed as questionable. Even if Jokic is able to return, the Nuggets will still be without Michael Porter Jr. (back), leaving them without one of their best scoring options. The Bucks are 4-1 ATS as road favorites and have a favorable opportunity to cover this small number.
