The Denver Nuggets will play against the Milwaukee Bucks this Wednesday in the second game of a three-game homestand. The Nuggets have struggled recently, posting a record of 4-6 in their last 10 games.

They also dropped their last game against the Chicago Bulls. Currently, the team is third in the Western Conference, just ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies, who are half a game behind.

The Western Conference is tightly contested and losing a single game could see Denver drop in the standings. With such a crucial stretch ahead of them, fans will be curious about the availability of Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun.

Braun is listed as probable and will likely be available against the Bucks. Meanwhile, Aaron Gordon is listed as questionable (right calf) and might sit out. Furthermore, Daron Holmes II (achilles) and Julian Strawther (left knee) are out. Nikola Jokic is doubtful against the Bucks as he is currently dealing with a left ankle impingement.

Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun could be key if available

Aaron Gordon has been in fine form over his last five games, recording 23.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. He is one of Denver’s best players next to Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. If Gordon can recover in time, having him on the floor against the Bucks will be key.

Meanwhile, Christian Braun has been a key contributor for the Denver Nuggets. Over his last 10 games, he’s averaging 14.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. He has been solid all season, recording 15.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 57.4% from the field.

If Gordon misses tonight’s game, the team will look towards Peyton Watson to carry a heavier load on offense. The 22-year-old has made 60 appearances this season, recording 8.2 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.
