The Denver Nuggets will be at home at Ball Arena on Wednesday as they host the Milwaukee Bucks in an interconference showdown.
Denver enters Wednesday’s game amid a recent rough stretch as they have dropped six of their last 10 games and are coming off a loss to the Chicago Bulls on Monday.
For the Bucks, they have also been struggling recently as they have also dropped six of their last 10 games and are coming off a loss to the Phoenix Suns on Monday.
Of course, most of Denver’s recent struggles have been due to the injuries to their star players, but they made a major announcement regarding their superstar center Nikola Jokic’s availability for Wednesday’s game.
Denver has upgraded Jokic to doubtful for Wednesday’s game against Milwaukee, but he is still expected to be sidelined.

Jokic has missed the Nuggets’ last five games due to an ankle and elbow issue but the good news for the Nuggets is that he has finally been upgraded to doubtful.
This comes after head coach Michael Malone said before Monday’s loss to the Bulls that he expects Jokic to return at some point during Denver’s five-game homestand.
Denver has struggled without Jokic in the lineup over the past week, but it is clear that they want him fully healthy for their upcoming playoff run.

With Jokic likely sidelined once again, DeAndre Jordan should draw another start for the Nuggets and Zeke Nnaji should also see an increased role off the bench.
Denver has also listed Aaron Gordon as questionable for Wednesday’s game due to right calf injury management and a left ankle sprain that kept him out of Monday’s loss.
Christian Braun also showed up on Denver’s injury report once again as he has been listed as probable with a left foot sprain but he is expected to play.
The good news for the Nuggets is that Jamal Murray is fully off their injury report.
Fans can catch Wednesday’s game between the Nuggets and Bucks at 9:00 p.m. EST.
