Milwaukee Bucks vs. Denver Nuggets 2025 NBA Odds, Time, and Prediction

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs. Denver Nuggets prediction is that the March 26 game is going to be a real banger. Why? Because this is a Nikola Jokic vs. Giannis Antetokounmpo clash.

Sure, Jokic is still doubtful, but we predict coach Michael Malone will give him some minutes on the court. After all, he needs to be there to help the Nuggets get back on the right track after losing three of their last four games.

Beating the Bucks won’t be easy though, mainly because Milwaukee’s superstar Antetokounmpo is in top form right now.

Can Giannis Lead the Bucks to a Win in Denver?

The Bucks have a decent record against the Nuggets, winning three of their last four NBA duels. However, things are a bit different when it comes to the games at Ball Arena in Denver. That’s where the visitors from Milwaukee are without a win since 2021.

Maybe it’s time for the Bucks to end their winless run in Denver? While betting odds aren’t in their favor, there are some things that make their fans optimistic. The most obvious one is that their best player Giannis Antetokounmpo is in great shape.

The Greek Freak scored 30+ in each of his last two games, as well as made double-figure rebounds. As a result, his MVP odds have moved in his favor, with some sportsbooks shortening them from +50000 to +10000.

Nevertheless, he’s still far behind the two top favorites – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic.

Denver Nuggets Determined to Up Their Form

The Denver Nuggets are doing well overall, but the fact is that they lost three of their last four games. What’s interesting is that their best player Nikola Jokic missed all of those games.

But the Serbian center could make his comeback on March 26. After missing his team’s last five games due to an ankle injury, the three-time MVP seems to be ready to get back on the court. Still, it’s unclear how big a role he can play on Wednesday evening.

Even if he plays only a couple of minutes, his input can help the Nuggets. After all, they’re not a one-man army. They have several other amazing players on the roster – Aaron Gordon, Russell Westbrook, and Jamal Murray.

Still, without Jokic, they’re kind of soft in the center position, which is something Giannis & Co might exploit.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Denver Nuggets Prediction

With Jokic not being 100% fit, the Denver Nuggets are bound to struggle to stop Giannis. The Greek Freak has been sensational lately and we expect him to continue to dominate in the air. While the Nuggets are a better team overall, if Giannis does the same as he did in his last two games, the Bucks will win.
