Teams Preview
Denver Nuggets Preview
The Nuggets have been one of the top sides from the West over the last six to seven years. Nikola Jokic’s addition changed the franchise’s fortunes as the Serbian star set a perfect example of being an all-around player on the court. Joining forces with Jamal Murray, the Serbian star won his franchise a championship to go down as a legend of the game.
The side started strong with Jokic once again controlling the game, but an injury to Jokic put a question mark over the side’s ability to match the top franchises. The center suffered a knee injury and will be out till the end of January, while Gordon will be back in the lineup.
In the 2025-26 season, the team stands second in offensive rating and tops scoring in the season with an average of 123.1 points per game and a 122.3 rating. Defensively, though, the team dropped to 22nd in the league with a 117 rating. They averages 6.9 steals per game. The team did decent work on the board with 43.2 rebounds and four blocks per game. Sharing the possession effectively, the team has 28.9 assists per game, which is sixth best in the league.
Milwaukee Bucks Preview
Giannis Antetokounmpo is back, and so is the Bucks’ form. After a slow start to the season, the Milwaukee side is now catching up with the conference rivals behind another Giannis masterclass. In his absence, Kevin Porter Jr. took over the offensive load for the former champions. But with the return of the Greek star, the side is now once again pushing for a top-eight finish.
