The Milwaukee Bucks (40-31) visit the Denver Nuggets (45-28) on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at the Ball Arena.

The Bucks have lost three of their last five games, including a recent 108-106 defeat at the hands of the Phoenix Suns. More troubling news came the Bucks' way, as reports say that star Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, the same condition that ended the season of San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama. The Bucks have a record of 8-5 without Lillard this season.

It remains to be seen if Giannis Antetokounmpo will play, as he is listed on Milwaukee's injury report due to a left foot sprain. The Nuggets might also play without their superstar Nikola Jokic, who has missed the last five games due to left ankle impingement. In that span, the Nuggets went 2-3.

Still, this could be a game that favors the Nuggets. Even without Jokic, they still defeated a strong Houston Rockets last March 23. With Jokic out, Jamal Murray has picked up the load with a stat line of 25.4 points and 5.6 assists, including an excellent 47.1% clip from the three-point line. Look for the Nuggets to rely on Murray's efficient offense against the Bucks.

Denver Nuggets - Milwaukee Bucks Key Points

  1. In the last five games, Jamal Murray has averaged 25.4 points on 47.1% three-point shooting.
  2. The Bucks are missing Damian Lillard, who is indefinitely sidelined.
  3. The Bucks could be without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is nursing a left foot sprain.
  4. The Nuggets have a better offensive rating than the Bucks in the last five games.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The big news around the league is that Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis. He is sidelined indefinitely, which means more trouble for the Bucks. Moreover, Giannis Antetokounmpo is nursing a left foot sprain, downgrading his status to questionable against the Nuggets.

On the other hand, the Nuggets will continue relying on Jamal Murray's efficient offense, especially with Nikola Jokic sitting out. Our prediction for the Denver Nuggets vs Milwaukee Bucks match is: Nuggets (-4.5) cover the spread.
