In the Nuggets vs. Bucks game, the match up to watch will be Jamal Murray vs. Eric Bledsoe.

The Nuggets’, Jamal Murray, has been doing a solid job lately at the point guard spot. The Bucks’, Eric Bledsoe, has also found a new home and has been a nice pairing with the other Bucks star, Giannis Antekounmpo.

Bledsoe may not be a well known star, but is still highly coveted from many NBA teams. Some have even claimed Bledsoe is LeBron James in a point guard’s body in terms of athleticism.

Jamal Murray will have his hands full trying to limit the athletic point guard’s production, though this is not the first time they have matched up with each other. They have matched up with each other on a few occasions when Bledsoe was still with the Phoenix Suns.

Denver is coming in winning eight of their last 11 games and Jamal Murray has proved to terrific during this stretch. He is truly learning and growing as a combo guard and Bledsoe should prove to be a very intriguing match up at the point guard spot.

Murray has to produce in order for Denver to prevail since the Nuggets are one of the worst road teams in the league despite their stellar home record. If he let’s Bledsoe eat him alive, then the Nuggets will have to find a way to contain two stars on the Bucks. Something which they want to avoid at all costs given the athletic ability of both Bledsoe and Antekounmpo.

One thing is definitely certain, Denver is very evenly matched with the Milwaukee Bucks and this closely mirrors the match up between Jamal Murray and Eric Bledsoe.
