Milwaukee lost 100-97 to Houston in its last game and that snapped a four-game winning streak for the Bucks. Denver is 10-1 in the last 11 games with its only loss coming to the Lakers (123-100) two games ago. The Nuggets are coming off a 125-116 win at the Pacers in the first of a four-game road trip. This is the first of two meetings this season.
