The Milwaukee Bucks will look to wrap up their road trip with what would be a crucial win over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night.
Despite starting the trip off in disappointing fashion, the Milwaukee Bucks head to Colorado to play the Denver Nuggets on Sunday with a chance to finish up their week away from home with a 3-1 record.
If they are to achieve that goal, the Bucks will have to put an end to a three-game streak of losses against the Nuggets, which would likely also involve finding a way to slow down Bucks-killer Nikola Jokic.
While Milwaukee’s long-term problems have persisted, wins in four of their last five games have included some overdue signs of positive play again.
