The Denver Nuggets will travel to Milwaukee as they play their final game before the All Star break.

The Denver Nuggets are coming off one of their best win of the season. Their last match up saw them take down the San Antonio Spurs for the first time in five different games between the last two games.

For this game, they will travel on the road to battle the Giannis Antekounmpo led Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks have been one of the more surprising teams in the Eastern Conference this season.

While many did expect them to be a playoff team, they have also had their fair shares of struggles as well. This is the same squad who fired Jason Kidd as their head coach not too long ago. However, Giannis started off the year looking like a strong MVP candidate and is one of the best players in the league.

Denver will not be able to shut him down, there is just no way, but if they can at least contain him, then the Nuggets will have a good shot. They must play like they do at home considering they have been terrible on the road this season, minus a few key games where they have surprised Nuggets Nation.

If the Nuggets can pull off a win on the road coming into the All Star break, then it will be a huge confidence booster for this young core. Guys like Eric Bledsoe and Malcolm Brogdon will be sleepers for the Bucks and could surprise the Nuggets. The defensive rotations need to be ready and they must shore up the pick and roll defense from the last game.

A game which saw the Spurs get too many looks from getting freed up from pick and roll and pick and pop situations.

It will be easier said than done, but with how hot Denver has been, they could get a key win on the road.
