The Denver Nuggets (25-13, 10-6 Home) will try to get back on the right side of the scoreboard today when they host the Milwaukee Bucks (17-21, 8-12 Away). Tipoff at Ball Arena in Denver, CO, is scheduled for 8 p.m. EST with coverage provided by Altitude Sports and NBA League Pass.
Denver is coming off a bad loss to the Atlanta Hawks, 110-87. It was the first game the Nuggets were not really competitive in since Nikola Jokic's knee injury a couple of weeks ago. Since the perennial MVP candidate has been out, the Nuggets have gone 3-3 with wins over Toronto, Boston, and Philadelphia (losses to Cleveland, Brooklyn, and Atlanta). Three players have stepped up and led the team in scoring across those six games: Peyton Watson, Jamaal Murray (who has also missed a couple of games ), and Jalen Pickett. As for Milwaukee, the Bucks are coming off a win over the Lakers in Los Angeles Friday night, 105-101. The road has not been too kind to the Bucks this season (8-12), but with the win over LA, they have gone 2-1 on their current road trip (which ends in Denver). Kevin Porter Jr. led the way in LA, but the player to watch with the Bucks is always Giannis Antetokounmpo (29.2 ppg and 9.8 rpg this season).

Our Denver Nuggets vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
Denver has been a solid home team, and they’ve been competitive without Jokic in the lineup, but the Nuggets are dealing with so much more than just the absence of their big center. Without Jokic or Valanciunas to challenge Antetokounmpo, the Greek Freak should have a big day against a depleted Nuggets roster.
