Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: April 1 at Denver Nuggets
By Adam McGee
Finale
With the Miami Heat’s surprise loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night, the Bucks have an excellent chance to move a full game ahead of the Heat for seventh place and keep the pressure on the sixth place Washington Wizards, who will play both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Houston Rockets next week.
On the other side, two games out of the playoff spots and currently in 10th place, a home loss would be catastrophic for the Nuggets’ own playoff aspirations. In other words, they’re not going to be lacking any motivation.
Having managed to pull out an overtime win on the second night of a back-to-back on Friday, Milwaukee will need to produce another professional performance to defy conventional wisdom and finish off their road trip with a strong win at altitude.
