Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets Prediction, Odds and Tips

Back-to-back losses to Atlanta and Boston have taken some momentum away from the Bucks, but this team is still on an upward trajectory. Khris Middleton finally returned from injury and made his season debut on Friday with 11 points. The field’s 2:10 performance showed that he still has a lot of work to do before he gets back to his old form. The game against Brooklyn is an ideal opportunity; Middleton could even return to the starting lineup. Milwaukee has had great success in head-to-head matchups, winning five of the last six. SU is also 6-2 in its last eight visits to Brooklyn.

Scoring has been a major problem for the Nets, who just ended a three-game losing streak with a 99-90 win over Indiana. Their highest point total in the last four games is just 102, and twice they finished under the 100 point mark. The loss of Cam Thomas really hurt them, but there is some good news on the injury front: Ben Simmons and Dorian Finney-Smith have been upgraded to questionable for this game. The Nets have covered the spread just once in five home games, but remain one of the more reliable bets this season with an overall record of 14-8-1 ATS.

It’s a little surprising that the Nets are considered +6.5 point underdogs in a game against the team they beat 115-102 earlier this season. Sure, Brooklyn has struggled a bit to score lately – but its defense has been solid for long stretches. Milwaukee will focus on getting Khris Middleton involved, even if that could hamper them a bit on offense. In the end, the Bucks should just leave the Nets behind. I feel like Brooklyn has what it takes to keep this game exciting.
