Milwaukee Bucks vs. Denver Nuggets Preview
The Milwaukee Bucks (40-31) and Denver Nuggets (45-28) are all set to square off from Ball Arena in Denver.
Both the Bucks and the Nuggets have struggled recently. Both are 4-6 in their last 10 games. Much like other teams, they have both been bitten by the injury bug. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damien Lillard, and Nikola Jokic have missed time recently, and both are questionable for this game.
The Bucks are currently 16-19 on the road with a point differential of 2, while the Nuggets have a 6-4 record in their last ten games at home.

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is leaning toward Giannis Antetokounmpo over 31.5 points…
Thomas: “This is a challenging game to forecast, given the limited information on player availability.
However, we know that Lillard is out indefinitely. That means there’s a slight increase in Kyle Kuzma’s usage. His number is a bit too high for me to take. Antetokounmpo also received a usage boost, and this matchup feels perfect for him. He’s also cleared this number in back-to-back games.”
