The Denver Nuggets (36-17) travel to the Fiserv Forum to take on the Milwaukee Bucks (34-19). Although Doc Rivers took charge due to defensive concerns, the team has looked worse on that end and it doesn’t seem to be getting better any time soon. However, this is a great fantasy opportunity for you to take advantage of! Despite some injury concerns, the traveling side remains a slight favorite.
Who do you see having a big game tonight in Wisconsin?

Denver Nuggets vs Milwaukee Bucks Obvious Starts
Nikola Jokic– C ($11,500 DK/$12,000 FD)
Although some view him as overrated, only one question remains. Is Jokic playing tonight? Since the answer is yes, you need to have him on your lineup! Especially against this defense, a triple-double almost seems like a given tonight!
Jamal Murray-PG ($8,200 DK/ $8,600 FD)
Similar mindset here. Although the upside isn’t as large, Murray produces. 39.4 FPPG is what he averages. That’s his floor for your fantasy lineup as he will surely break that tonight and have a big game for the Denver Nuggets!
Denver Nuggets vs Milwaukee Bucks Start ‘Em
Brook Lopez-C ($6,000 DK/$7,100 FD)
Lopez is in a bit of a scoring slump. But today is a good day for him to get back on track. Even though he hasn’t scored particularly well, he’s still giving you 28.5 FPPG over the last 10 matchups. Even when n Jokic is on him, you have to like his ability to stretch the floor. Additionally, by running the floor he should get some easy buckets tonight.
Aaron Gordon– PF ($5,800 DK/$6,200 FD
Tonight favors someone like Gordan. Against a weak defensive team in the Bucks, he will be able to feast on matchups and second-chance opportunities. He averages 29.1 FPPG throughout the season, but today he will be able to exceed that.
Sit ‘Em
Khris Middleton-SF ($6,800 DK/$7,200 FD)
Middleton is officially day-to-day, but the ankle is too much and he is out for tonight’s matchup. Coach Rivers indicated that the ankle is a little more serious. But he should be back sometime this week.
Denver Nuggets vs Milwaukee Bucks Lock of the Day
Bobby Portis- PF/C ($6,200/ $6,900 FD)
This game gives Portis a good opportunity. Through the injuries and in-game concerns, he has been something of a stabilizing presence for this team. Over the last ten days, he has been giving fantasy owners 32.6 FPPG. Tonight, even if the Bucks struggle against the Denver Nuggets, he will have a big night!
