The Milwaukee Bucks are facing the Denver Nuggets on Monday night, and they have released their official injury report for this game. Superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is being listed as probable for this game with right knee patellar tendinitis.

Antetokounmpo has been very durable for Milwaukee this season, missing just two games all year. The two-time league MVP is again in the running for that award this season, averaging 30.7 PPG, 11.2 RPG, and 6.3 APG for the third seed Milwaukee Bucks.

It has been a strange season for Milwaukee, with a head coaching change being made while they were second in the Eastern Conference. Things have not gotten better since that change, with Milwaukee struggling to find their way so far under Doc Rivers, but they are coming off a convincing win against the Charlotte Hornets that they hope can be a turning point.

For Denver, they have remained consistent all season, as they hover around the top of the Western Conference. The Nuggets, LA Clippers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and OKC Thunder are all separated by just a half-game atop the standings, which is very rare to see this late into a season.

Each win and each loss shuffles one through four in the Western Conference standings quite a bit, which makes every game crucial for the Nuggets as they pursue the top spot.
