The Denver Nuggets are at home on Wednesday night as they face off against the Milwaukee Bucks in an interconference showdown at Ball Arena.
Denver enters Wednesday's contest amid a recent rough patch as they have dropped six of their last 10 games and are coming off a loss to the Chicago Bulls on Monday.
Of course, the Nuggets have seen multiple of their star players miss time due to injuries over the last few weeks including their superstar duo of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
They will now look to turn things around against a Bucks team that has lost six of their last 10 games as well.
Denver may once again be shorthanded in Wednesday's matchup as they have listed five players on their injury report.
The good news for the Nuggets is that Jokic has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game due to an ankle injury and he could return from his five-game absence.

Denver has also listed Aaron Gordon as questionable with due to calf injury management and a sprained ankle that kept him sidelined in Monday's loss to the Bulls.
If Jokic and Gordon are sidelined once again on Wednesday, expect DeAndre Jordan and Peyton Watson to remain in the starting lineup against the Bucks.
Christian Braun has been listed as probable due to a foot injury but he is expected to play while the Nuggets have ruled out Julian Strawther and DaRon Holmes II.
For the Bucks, they will be without two of their superstar players against the Nuggets as they have ruled out both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.
Giannis is listed as out due to a left foot sprain while Lillard is out indefinitely due to a blood clot in his right calf.
