If you bought tickets to see Jokic's only game in Milwaukee you are out of luck. He's sitting along with 3 other Nuggets starters in the second game of a back to back.
Bucks up 12-7 early despite Giannis having 4 turnovers in 4 minutes (although he did get fouled on two of them without getting a call)

Giannis now with 5 turnovers in 9 minutes. Down 20-19 to a Nuggets active roster that would compete well with the Herd.
Bucks down 27-26 to the Nuggets C team. Mainly because of 9 Bucks turnovers.
Bucks playing like absolute shit. Down 3. It's likely it will turn around in the second half, but they are getting outplayed by Bones Hyland right now.
Bucks scrap to get up by 5 at the half.
Denver sitting these guys out
Michael Porter Jr., Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jack White, Collin Gillespie, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray
Bucks open the second half with 2 bad turnovers in 30 seconds.
Bucks only up 1.
Giannis and Holiday have both been terrible tonight. Giannis has 8 turnovers and Jrue has 4.
A loss here would be the second worst loss of the year (after getting blitzed by Charlotte for 51 points in the first quarter.
Playing with fire being only 1 up against this Nuggets roster with 15 minutes left.
18 turnovers in less than 3 quarters will do that to a team.
Giannis picked up his 4th on what was a terrible call. Bud challenges and this will be overturned, but how could you make that call to begin with?
Giannis has had a tough night, but the officials have been very tough on him tonight.
Bucks had pulled up by 11 but then Green hits a halfcourter to cut it to 8 going to the 4th.
Bucks up 12, but the Nuggets have basically tackled Giannis the last few times down the court. He's missed 3 of his last 4 FTs, but you can't blame him after the Nuggets have hit him harder than Darnell Savage hit anyone all year.
A win's a win. But that was an ugly game. Giannis went 15 for 22 from the line and he was probably fouled much more than that.
Not often you win a game with 22 turnovers.
