The game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets will take place at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday, January 25 at 8:00 PM ET.
The Milwaukee Bucks will welcome the Washington Wizards to Fiserv Forum for an NBA game on Wednesday. The Bucks won 130-150 in their last game over the Pistons. On the Bucks’ side, Giannis Antetokounmpo had 11 points in 29:57 that night in Detroit. The two-time MVP might not be available for the Bucks tonight, however; he has missed five straight with a sore left knee. Before Antetokounmpo was injured, he was averaging 31 points, 11.9 rebounds and 5.3 assists a game.
Still, the Bucks have gone 2-3 without him, though they went down against the Cavaliers on Saturday night. Drue Holiday had 28 points in that game, and Bobby Portis had 23. The Bucks were also without former Pistons draft pick Khris Middleton, who hasn’t played since Dec. 15 because of a sore right knee; he has only played in seven games this season.
The Nuggets on the other hand won 98-99 against the Pelicans in their last game. Nikola Jokic said he could still feel a slight difference between the injured left hamstring that sidelined him for two games and his healthy one when he returned to Denver’s lineup. Not that it stopped him from notching his 15th triple-double of the season, or hindered his ability to produce in the clutch.
Jokic capped a 25-point, 11-rebound, 10-assist performance with a go-ahead floater in the paint with 16.9 seconds left, and the Nuggets escaped with a 99-98 victory over the undermanned Pelicans on Tuesday night. “I’m just playing the game,” Jokic said when asked about his all-around production. “I’m glad I found open teammates. I actually made the last basket. I’m just glad that we won the game. Individual awards don’t really matter.”
Jokic said his lingering hamstring tightness is “not something major. So, hopefully it’s going to be good.” Jokic sneaked into the paint for his winning shot after two defenders gravitated to Nuggets guard Jamal Murray, who then passed to Denver’s 7-foot super star about 7 feet in front of the basket. “That’s my sweet spot,” Jokic said. “I’m really comfortable shooting from there.”
