DEN Nuggets vs MIL Bucks Prediction: Will the reigning champion be able to cope with such a serious challenge?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 30. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Nuggets finished a long road series and played the last game at home for the first time since January 14. The team faced Philadelphia, who came to the floor without Joel Embiid. Naturally, Denver coped with the bleeding opponent, although it was not without problems. 111:105 - the Nuggets beat Phila only in the end, and Nikola Jokic was the most productive in their lineup, scoring 26 points.

Denver is now 32-15 overall. The team from Colorado has been firmly in the playoff zone all season, confirming that they will contend for their second straight championship.

The Bucks recently fired head coach Adrian Griffin and appointed Doc Rivers, who has already started his duties. After this reshuffle, although Rivers has not yet led the team, Milwaukee has played three home games - exchanged wins with Cleveland (126:116 and 100:112) and confidently beat New Orleans (141:117).

The Bucks go second in the Eastern Conference and only 3.0 wins behind Boston.

Denver and Milwaukee are among the leaders of their conferences, and we will not predict the winner here. Let's bet on the total. The Bucks have problems in defense all season, and the offense is in the top 3 of the league. This situation is unlikely to change quickly with the arrival of head coach Doc Rivers, so a TO may well be recorded in a meeting with Denver, who are also excellent offensively.
