The Denver Nuggets will be going up against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, March 26th at the Ball Arena. This will be the second clash of a three-game homestand for the Nuggets. They have struggled in the recent past as they have a 4-6 record in their last 10 games.
Will Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun start against Milwaukee Bucks?
The Denver Nuggets lost their last clash against the Chicago Bulls. The Nuggets are third in the Western Conference and are ahead of Memphis Grizzlies, who are half a game behind.
The Western Conference is tightly contested and losing a match would see the Nuggets drop in the standings. With a crucial set of matches ahead, fans are eager to know about the availability of Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun.
The Nuggets are navigating through their own injury issues as Christian Braun is listed as a probable and will suit up against the Bucks. Meanwhile, Aaron Gordon is listed on the team's injury report as questionable (right calf) and will be missing the clash against the Nuggets. Daron Holmes II (achilles) and Julian Strawther (left knee) will miss the clash. Nikola Jokic is recovering from a left ankle impingement and is doubtful for the game against the Bucks.
Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun could be crucial if available
Aaron Gordon has been in fine form in the last five games he has featured in. He has averaged 23.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. He is one of the key players for the Nuggets after Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. If he recovers well in time, he would pose threat against the Bucks.
On the other hand, in the last 10 games, Christian Braun has averaged 14.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. He has performed decently throughout the season as he averages 15.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists while shooting 57.4% from the field.
If Gordon misses today's clash, then the Nuggets would look towards Peyton Watson to carry the baton. The 22-year-old has featured in 60 games so far this season as he recorded 8.2 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.
