The Milwaukee Bucks will take on the Denver Nuggets at the Fiserv Forum tonight. The game is expected to showcase the showdown between the star centers of both sides- Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, before paying heed to the Jokic vs Antetokounmpo contest, it is imperative to refer to the injury reports of respective sides to confirm their availability for the game. Jokic is not listed in the Nuggets injury report, therefore, he is expected to start. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo does not have the same status for tonight's game.

Will Giannis Antetokounmpo Play Tonight?
Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as "probable" in the injury report released by the Milwaukee Bucks ahead of the game against the Nuggets. Antetokounmpo is facing a calf issue and hence his status comes as so. There are chances he may opt to sit out for the game but considering he hasn't missed out on any game recently while facing the same problem, there are more chances that he will feature tonight.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is a foremost part of the Bucks side. The Nigerian giant has been averaging an exceptional figure of 31 points per game this season. Therefore, his presence is vital for his team and since the team will be up against a dominant Denver Nuggets, Giannis would like to step up for the challenge and showcase his mettle as the world will have its attention on the game.
