5 toughest remaining games for the Milwaukee Bucks this season

Tuesday, March 14, Milwaukee Bucks @ Phoenix Suns

Milwaukee will have a mid-March test against what many people consider the favorites to bring home the Larry O’Brien Trophy, the Phoenix Suns.

The Bucks just picked up their 43rd win of the season at home vs Phoenix, but both superstars, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant, were unable to play in the contest. Durant will have some game time under his feet with his new squad before the Bucks and Suns play on the 14th. Milwaukee and Phoenix already have a history with each other after they met up in the 2021 NBA Finals. Milwaukee won the finals against that talented Suns squad, but now the Suns have Durant, and he adds so much versatility to the Suns already well-rounded lineup. This will be a potential NBA Finals matchup for the Bucks.

Saturday, March 25, Milwaukee Bucks @ Denver Nuggets

Milwaukee suits up for yet another battle on the road with MVP favorite Nikola Jokic.  Denver has had control of the one seed in the western conference for quite some time and they are in the best position they have been to make a championship run in a while. The Bucks took care of the Nuggets in a late January match, but Denver was without almost all of their starters.

Beating the Bucks would cement the Nuggets’ status as a contender in the West, and this is a game Nuggets head coach Mike Malone will have circled on his calendar. If Milwaukee can try to speed up Denver in the half-court and use their advantages, they will have a good chance at coming out victorious. As of now, these two teams are both respectively first in their conference standings, so this will be a game to look forward to.
