Who’s next?

Up next for the Bucks in Summer League will be the Denver Nuggets, who they’ll take on at 8 p.m. central time Monday night. This time, you can catch the game on ESPN U or on any ESPN-related streaming services.

The Nuggets are currently 2-0 in Las Vegas after just inching past the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 70-69 win Friday night and handily defeating the Boston Celtics 82-69 on Saturday night.

While the Nuggets made waves on draft night this year after taking skilled forward Michael Porter Jr. with the 14th overall pick, he will be stuck on the sidelines as he continues to work his way back to full health due to undergoing back surgery last November.

However, the Nuggets will be well represented with past first and second rounders from recent drafts such as Malik Beasley, Monte Morris and Tyler Lydon as well as the 58th overall pick in this year’s draft, Thomas Welsh.

In addition to that, the Nuggets have their pair of draft-and-stash players in Petr Cornelie and Vlatko Cancar on hand in Vegas as well.

As a result, the Bucks will surely have to slow down the Nuggets’ hot start in Las Vegas this year if they’re looking to notch a second win before the tournament portion of Summer League kicks off on Wednesday.
