The Milwaukee Bucks will host the Denver Nuggets in their next NBA assignment, seeking to return to winning ways. They enter this match with the fifth-best record in the East, while the Nuggets are third in the West. Read on for our prediction of this match.

The Bucks saw their four-match winning run snapped in Houston last time out. Doc Rivers’ men were outgunned 100-97. The loss, their 25th of the campaign, saw them drop back down to fifth.

Giannis Antentokunmpo is probable for this match as he deals with a calf issue. The forward is one of the leading candidates for MVP and will be keen to put on a show against one of the best teams.

Pat Connaughton, however, is unavailable due to injury.

The Nuggets have been in great form this month, and only once have they failed to win in 11 outings in February. Mike Malone’s men are tied for the second-best record in the West after winning 38 of 58 games.

The Nuggets are coming off a 125-116 victory against the Pacers to begin a four-match road trip out East. Nikola Jokic is available for this trip and is expected to provide a fierce battle with Antetokounmpo as both are favourites for the MVP.

Peyton Watson is out, while Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray are probable.
