Milwaukee Bucks vs Denver Nuggets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/11/26

The Denver Nuggets will host the Milwaukee Bucks in a non-conference matchup Sunday night. The Nuggets have a record of 25-13 this season, and they are 10-6 on their home court. Denver has lost 3 of their last 5 games, and they are coming off a 110-87 loss against the Atlanta Hawks. Peyton Watson led the team in scoring with 25 points, but the Nuggets could not overcome 19 turnovers. The Bucks have a record of 17-21, and they are 8-12 when playing on the road. Milwaukee has won three of their last four games, including their last win against the Los Angeles Lakers at a score of 105-101. Kevin Porter Jr. led the team in scoring with 22 points, and Giannis Antetokounmpo had two key stops against LeBron James in the final minute to secure the victory.

The story for both of these teams this season has been injuries to their star players. The Bucks lost Antetokounmpo earlier in the season to injury, and they went 3-11 with him out of the lineup. Now that Antetokounmpo is back and healthy, the Bucks look rejuvenated and are back to playing winning basketball. Now it’s the Nuggets turn to play without their star. Nikola Jokic went down with an injury that will keep him out at least four weeks. The Nuggets are 3-3 without Jokic, but their offensive numbers have dropped significantly without the former MVP. The Nuggets have averaged 109.2 points, 38 rebounds, and shot 45% from the field in their last six games. Those numbers are well below their season average of 123.1 points, 43 rebounds, and 50.5% shooting from the field. The Nuggets were just embarrassed on their home floor by the Hawks, and they are in danger of losing again tonight.
