GAME PREVIEW
Mar 09, 2020Giannis Antetokounmpo is making a strong case to repeat as the NBA MVP this season, but with the Milwaukee Bucks superstar nursing a sprained left knee, he will miss Monday night's game at the Denver Nuggets.It is hard to say if not having to worry about his 29.6 points and 13.7 rebounds a game is a good thing or a bad thing for the perplexing Nuggets, however.Denver beat the Bucks in Milwaukee with Antetokounmpo playing at the end of January, one of the Nuggets' signature wins this season. But that win has been tempered by some bad losses. Three of those have come against two of the three worst teams in the league -- and two came in a span of four days.The latest was a 104-102 loss at Cleveland on Saturday, giving the Cavaliers a sweep of the two games between the teams. That came after blowing a 15-point lead at home against Golden State and losing by 16 on Tuesday night.The Nuggets are still in first place in the Northwest Division with a chance of grabbing the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, but they have to fix their issues if they want to have a couple of rounds of home-court advantage.The most pressing issue is their defense, which was top 10 before the All-Star break but is ranked 25th in the eight games since."We're just inconsistent, as a team, period," Denver veteran Will Barton told reporters recently. "Inconsistent. Moments where we look real good, moments where we look real bad, moments we defend, moments we don't defend, moments we talk, moments we don't talk." Milwaukee is comfortably in control of the top seed in the Eastern Conference so the bigger concern is how long Antetokounmpo will sit. He was injured in the loss at the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night and sat out Sunday's 140-131 loss at Phoenix. He has already been ruled out for Monday's game."The way they described it to me is we'll see how the next few days go and kind of evaluate him and see where he is then," Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. "Overall we're very pleased. I think this is about as good an outcome and prognosis as we could hope for, I guess, unless it was nothing." Milwaukee has plenty of talent to make up for Antetokounmpo's absence in the short term, as was evident in the loss to the Suns. Khris Middleton had 39 points and Eric Bledsoe scored 28, but the Bucks' defense was lacking.Phoenix shot 55.3 percent overall from the field and 44.2 from 3-point range in dealing the Bucks their third loss in four games. It's the first two-game losing streak of the season for Milwaukee.Denver is just 4-4 in its last eight games, which has allowed Utah to creep within a game of first place in the Northwest Division. The Nuggets' schedule isn't easy down the stretch, either, with 12 of their final 19 games against teams currently holding a playoff spot.Denver needs to shore up its defense if it wants to hold on to a top seed in the final month of the regular season."We're just thinking that our talent is going to get us through that," guard Jamal Murray said after Saturday's loss. "And teams are playing harder than us. ... We've got to find our identity on defense." --Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Mar 09, 2020DENVER Jamal Murray scored 21 points, Paul Millsap had 20 and Jerami Grant added 19 as the Denver Nuggets sent the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks to their third straight loss and fourth in five games, 109-95 on Monday night.The NBA-leading Bucks (53-12) were without reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has a knee injury, as well as starters Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton and key backup George Hill.Altogether, the Bucks played without their top six scorers, and despite a valiant effort by their backups led by Kyle Korver (23 points), the team sorely missed that firepower during its fourth consecutive road loss and third in a row on this trip.The Bucks were swept by Denver in the two-game season series. The Nuggets won 127-115 in Milwaukee on Jan. 31 for their signature win this season.Nuggets leading scorer Nikola Jokic took just two first-half shots, made one, and continually passed up opportunities to get to the basket and instead distributed the ball. After a poor third quarter, Jokic came on strong down the stretch and finished with 10 points, half his average.Grant and Millsap picked up the slack with 15 first-half points each as the Nuggets raced out to a 16-point lead before Milwaukee cut it to 62-54 at the break.In the third quarter, Jokic missed five straight shots - a hook, a jumper and three 3-pointers - stretching his drought to 13 consecutive misses from beyond the arc before he sank one in the closing minutes.The third quarter ended with Mason Plumlee's fast-break layup for a 76-71 Denver lead after Monte Morris blocked Frank Mason III's pull-up 3 from behind.Seconds earlier, a slam by Murray was waved off with an offensive charge call even though D. J. Wilson left his feet trying to prevent the basket. Denver didn't challenge the call.Antetokounmpo got hurt in a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night, and on Sunday afternoon the Bucks said he had a minor sprain of his left knee and would miss at least two games. Milwaukee's 141-130 loss at Phoenix on Sunday marked the first time the Bucks dropped back-to-back games this season.Now it's a three-game skid.QUOTE OF THE NIGHT''I played Division III basketball so I can definitely imagine that,'' Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer on imagining Italian sports leagues playing games without fans because of the new coronavirus.TIP-INSBucks: Milwaukee got back into the game with eight easy points off five Nuggets turnovers in the second quarter, when the Bucks trimmed a 52-36 deficit by closing the first half on an 18-10 run. ... The Bucks play seven of their next eight in Milwaukee.Nuggets: Jokic continued a recent trend of non-assertive play on the offensive end as he made just one basket in the first half. ... The Nuggets play seven of their next eight on the road - and their only home game during that stretch is against the Clippers, who beat them by 29 points this month.UP NEXTBucks: Host Boston on Thursday night.Nuggets: At Dallas on Wednesday night.---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton---More NBA: https://apnews.com/tag/NBA and https://twitter.com/-Sports
