Though not as loud and pronounced as in Denver, a “Let’s go, Bulls” chant has broken out here at Amway Center. – 9:00 PM

Keys to the game
Nuggets vs Bucks
🔑 3 Pt Line – Bucks make 15 a game and shoot 41. 41% of offense comes from 3.
🔑 Transition defense – Giannis is lethal in transition
🔑 Turnovers – force them, score off them, don’t commit them!

Bet Denver goes big tonight against Milwaukee (Gordon, Green, Green). Curious to see what that means for the second unit with Dozier now out. Vlatko would seemingly be in line to make his debut next to Zeke Nnaji at the 5.
Or, they stagger Greens like last game. – 7:51 PM

Bucks in Denver tonight. The site of one of the more memorable regular season games of the Bud era early in the 2018-19 season.
At the end of a west coast trip, on a B2B, Brook Lopez hit 8 triples and Splash Mountain was born. Great win. – 7:37 PM

Milwaukee Bucks @Bucks
The Bucks notched just their 10th win all-time (10-40) in Denver in February, 2021.

Coach Malone said Bones Hyland is “more doubtful than anything” so I wouldn’t expect to see him tonight yet either.
His warmup looked pretty close to game speed, so he’s getting closer. – 7:29 PM

Nikola Jokic is missing his fourth-straight game with a right wrist sprain tonight. I thought he’d be back. Next chance for him to return is Monday in Miami where Denver starts a seven-game 13-day road trip. – 7:25 PM

Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunov
Knicks fan who can’t get MSG on Comcast? Look at Denver. Nuggets haven’t been on TV in a majority of homes for 3 seasons. It’s what happens when RSNs + cable providers can’t find a deal at a time of new TV economics. On Adam Silver’s “canary in the mine”:

Katy Winge @katywinge
The great @ZoraStephenson asked Coach Malone how to slow down Giannis tonight.
Coach Malone paused, laughed a bit, and then said, “Well, that can be a depressing conversation at times.”
Malone said it starts in transition. Also pointed out how many times he gets to the line. – 7:22 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Malone said the conversations about slowing down Giannis are “depressing” as the Nuggets prepare for the Bucks and I can’t think of a better way to describe dealing with Giannis. – 7:21 PM

TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Malone said Nikola Jokic is out tonight. Bones Hyland is doubtful but will go through warmups. – 7:17 PM

Denver Nuggets @nuggets
Nikola Jokić (right wrist sprain) is OUT for tonight’s game.

He’s questionable heading into tonight’s game. Will hear from Coach Malone about his status momentarily. pic.twitter.com/9KjY108LZu – 7:14 PM

Nikola Jokic is the NBA MVP but his own fans can’t see him play. Nuggets games aren’t on TV for most of Denver for a 3rd season. It’s not just a cable TV story; it’s about changing tech and economics, and people hurt by it.
