The Denver Nuggets will visit the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum on Monday.

Denver (10-6) has fallen off sharply after its hot 9-1 start. The Nuggets have dropped five of their last six games, including a home court loss to Milwaukee last week. Most recently, the Nuggets fell 125-115 to the Pelicans on Saturday, allowing 40 points to New Orleans superstar Anthony Davis. Despite the team's recent struggles, however, the Nuggets have plenty to be excited about. Four of the team's last five losses have come by single digits, and Denver's lone win in the last week was a 45-point rout of the Atlanta Hawks. Denver remains one of the league's top teams on both sides of the ball, ranking top 10 in both offensive and defensive rating. Superstar center Nikola Jokic also continues to put together an impressive campaign, averaging 17.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 7.0 assists per game. He leads the team in all three categories.

Milwaukee (11-4) is in a similar position, having gone just 4-4 in its last eight games after an immaculate 7-0 start to the season. The Bucks have also been carried by a young superstar, as Giannis Antetokounmpo is delivering staggering averages of 25.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 55.8 percent from the field. Antetokounmpo, a reigning All-Defense Team selection, is also posting 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. Monday's game will be the third in a seven game home stand for the Bucks, who are 7-1 at Fiserv Forum this season.

The teams have clashed once already this season, resulting in a 121-114 win for Milwaukee. Denver will hope to even the score on Milwaukee's home court on Monday.
