The Milwaukee Bucks are in Colorado this evening to face one of the NBA’s best home teams in the Denver Nuggets. Start time in tonight’s East versus West showdown between the Bucks and Nuggets is set for 9:00pm ET at the Pepsi Center. NBA Tuesday betting odds have Denver listed as a -7 against the spread favorite and the Over/Under set at 214.5 points. The Bucks are getting +250 odds on the moneyline.

Milwaukee started the new year in horrible fashion, dropping its first three January games, but it rounded into the remainder of the month by winning eight of its last 12 games. The Bucks are 1-1 in February thus far, losing 96-86 at New York and winning 107-98 at home against Orlando on Saturday.

Milwaukee, which is three games out of first in the Central Division with a 25-21 mark, does own a winning road record at 12-11, but it is up against it tonight. At 30-18, Denver sits six games back of Oklahoma City in the Northwest Division, but that deficit has everything to do with its play away from home (10-15 on the road).

The Nuggets are nearly unbeatable at the Pepsi Center, going 20-3 as a host, and they just so happen to be in the midst of a six game home stand which has featured wins over Sacramento, Indiana, Houston, and New Orleans.

Denver, which last played on Friday night (defeated Hornets 113-98), has also had the Bucks number of late. The Nuggets are 4-0 in their last four meetings (average margin of victory = 8.3 points) with Milwaukee and they are 5-1 in their last six games hosting the Bucks (average margin of victory = 11.4).

Free Pick: Take the Nuggets -7. Denver is 6-0 straight up and 5-1 against the spread in its last six games as a home favorite with a total between 210 and 215 points. The Bucks are 0-5 both straight up and against the spread in their last five games as a road dog with a spread between 4 and 7.5 points and total between 210 and 215 points.

Milwaukee Bucks at Denver Nuggets NBA Odds:

Milwaukee Bucks +7 (-110), Over 214.5 (-110), +250 (Moneyline)

Denver Nuggets -7 (-110), Under 214.5 (-110), -300 (Moneyline)
