ESPN.com's Marc Stein is already reporting that the Denver Nuggets will trade Earl Boykins and Julius Hodge to the Bucks for guard Steve Blake.  

The 5-foot 5-inch Boykins has scored 20 points or more in eight of his 10 games alongside the Nuggets' Allen Iverson.  The Bucks are in dire need of guards and scoring with injuries to four starters.  

The trade is expected to be announced by Milwaukee Bucks General Manager Larry Harris at a 1 p.m. news conference today.
