Smart Game Analysis
Milwaukee Bucks has a 65% chance of winning the game
The Bucks are poised to exploit a decimated Nuggets roster missing Nikola Jokic and likely Jamal Murray, leveraging Giannis Antetokounmpo's dominance and Myles Turner's rim protection.
Key Analysis
- • Denver is without MVP Nikola Jokic (knee) and starting center Jonas Valanciunas (calf), stripping them of their primary playmaking and size.
- • Jamal Murray is listed as OUT or Questionable (ankle/illness) on recent reports, leaving the Nuggets potentially without their top two scorers.
- • Giannis Antetokounmpo has sparked a resurgence, leading Milwaukee to 5 wins in their last 7 games since returning to the lineup.
- • The addition of Myles Turner gives the Bucks a massive advantage in the paint against a Nuggets team forcing smaller forwards like Peyton Watson into frontcourt roles.
- • Denver's defense has crumbled without its anchors, recently allowing 48+ points in the paint to the Sixers and Celtics.
- • Milwaukee's 3-point shooting (6th in NBA, ~14.7 makes/game) will stretch a scrambled Nuggets defense lacking continuity.
