Fanduel Odds

The Bucks are heavy favorites against a very banged up Nuggets team. However, the Nuggets still have Jokic, Murray, Porter Jr l, and some sharp shooters so I would not completely count them out of this one. The Bucks have won 5 in a row after losing 5 in a row, and have home court advantage and 2 days of rest compared to the Nuggets who played yesterday in a close win against the Bulls. I believe the lack of rest will be a factor for the Nuggets, and that the Bucks will take the game over sometime in the second half. Take the Bucks -1.5 third quarter spread, Khris Middleton over 20.5 points, and Brook Lopez over 11.5 points.
