Milwaukee Bucks: 3 things to watch for in Denver Nuggets’ Friday visit
By Adam McGee
The Milwaukee Bucks will host one of the Western Conference’s best on Friday, as the Denver Nuggets will make their sole visit of the season to Fiserv Forum.
If they can come away with a victory on Friday night against the Denver Nuggets, the Milwaukee Bucks will have won their 10th consecutive game.
Of course, that would be a notable feat in its own right, but in the Bucks’ case it would also amount to their second double-digit winning streak of the season.

That speaks to Milwaukee’s remarkable consistency and dominance, even before reaching the All-Star break, as a win against Denver would also give the Bucks their 42nd victory of the season.
For context, the Bucks have only won 42 games in a season on four occasions since the turn of the century. Doing so with 34 games remaining would really be a sign of just how much times have changed.
Of course, that prospect will be far from routine on this occasion as the Bucks will play host to the 33-15 Denver Nuggets, one of the very best teams of the NBA’s chasing pack behind Milwaukee.
With that in mind, let’s dive in and take a closer look at some of the storylines worth keeping an eye on heading into Friday’s matchup.
