Finale

This won’t be an easy one for the Bucks. Milwaukee is missing two forwards who have done a lot of scoring this season, and will need players like Monroe and Brogdon to step up big time.

Jokic and the Nuggets know they haven’t clinched that eighth seed just yet, and they’ll keep pushing to do so and build some momentum for the postseason. The Bucks need to start getting wins to keep themselves in the playoff picture in the East.

This is a game between two hungry, young teams. That should make it a good one, especially considering the Bucks are coming off of a pretty decent game against Cleveland. Denver is on the second game of a back-to-back, but they should still pose a significant challenge.
