The Denver Nuggets travel to Milwaukee tonight to face the Bucks in a matchup of young teams on the rise. The two have already faced off once this year so Denver is quite familiar with them, as well as with the distance shooting prowess of one Brook Lopez. Whether Denver can stop the Bucks with any more consistency this time remains to be seen.
The Nuggets are in a terrible stretch, having gone 1-5 in their last six games and misplacing either their offense, their defense or both on a near-nightly basis. The competition has been stiff - the Bucks, Pelicans, Rockets and even Grizzlies are teams that individually there is no shame in losing to.
