Randy’s Free Pick
The Denver Nuggets are on the end of a back to back and dealing with some roster issues. The Milwaukee Bucks are starting to get healthy, they have the rest advantage, and they’re at home where they’re 16-7 ATS. The Bucks win at home by an average of 6.9 points. The Nuggets barely escaped last night against a hobbled Pelicans club. I’ll lay the chalk.
