The Denver Nuggets will look to capitalize off of the momentum they received in the win over the Oklahoma City Thunder as they welcome the Milwaukee Buck to the Pepsi Center.
The Denver Nuggets continue to fight for their playoff lives. When things seemed to be out of reach, Denver surprised us once again with an overtime win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The good thing about this squad is they are going to go out fighting. They are still most likely going to miss the post season, but, it helps to see them giving great effort against contenders as the regular season comes to a close.
The Nuggets will return home to take on the Milwaukee Bucks who boast a young super star of their own. Of course, I am talking about the one and only Giannis Antekounmpo.
Giannis has had an MVP like season and is leading the Bucks to another post season. Whoever will be matched up with him will have their hands full as they attempt to contain the “Greek Freak.”
However, do not forget the last time these two teams squared off, the Nuggets’ young star, Nikola Jokic, set an NBA record. Jokic had the fastest triple double in NBA history the last time he played the Bucks. As a matter of fact, Jokic seems to like playing Milwaukee. He always seems to have a field day against this particular team. Keep an eye on what the Joker pulls off in this game.
Paul Millsap had a field day in the last game, so it may be time for Jokic to have one, though he has been doing well lately.

If the Nuggets can play with the same intensity they did against the Thunder, then they will have an extremely good chance against the Bucks.
