In an enticing 2020-21 NBA matchup between two in-form teams, the Denver Nuggets lock horns with the Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum on Tuesday. The clash will see MVP candidates Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo go head to head for the second time this season.
In the first meeting between the two sides this campaign, the Nuggets lost 112-125. That was despite Nikola Jokic topped the scoring, assisting and rebounding charts for the Denver Nuggets in that match.
The 19-15 Denver Nuggets, meanwhile, thumped the Chicago Bulls 118-112 in their previous match. Nikola Jokic starred with a team-high 39 points, while Jamal Murray popped up with 24 points.
The 21-13 Milwaukee Bucks are on a five-game winning run. They are coming off a 105-100 win over the LA Clippers in their last outing, where Giannis Antetokounmpo produced a 36-point outing with 14 rebounds.
The likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton have been in sublime form for the Milwaukee Bucks during this stretch. Mike Budenholzer's side were also boosted by the return of Jrue Holiday in the last game. They will look to continue their winning run when the Denver Nuggets visit the Fiserv Forum.
