Eric Bledsoe (knee) doubtful for Bucks on Monday versus Nuggets

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (right knee effusion) is doubtful to play on Monday against the Denver Nuggets.

What It Means:

Bledsoe looked excellent on Sunday in a 28-point effort against the Phoenix Suns, so it's not clear when he suffered the injury. Giannis Anteotkounmpo (knee) isn't playing, so look for Khris Middleton to help fill the void on offense after he scored 39 points in the front end of the back-to-back. Donte DiVincenzo will likely replace Bledsoe in the first unit. There should also be more minutes for Pat Connaughton and Sterling Brown.

Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Bucks-Nuggets game has a 222.5-point over/under. The Bucks have an implied total of 108.75 points.
