The Nuggets are in Milwaukee for the second leg of a back-to-back Wednesday to take on the Bucks.
It’s the first game between top-seeded Denver and third-place Milwaukee this season. Together, Nikola Jokiu0107 and Giannis Antetokounmpo account for the league’s last four MVPs and they’re both making their case to win the award for a third time this season. Jokiu0107 leads the all-time head-to-head series against Antetokounmpo, 8–4.
Both players returned from injuries this week to lead their respective teams to victory. Antetokounmpo (knee) missed five games in a row before he returned Monday night for a 150-130 road win in Detroit.
