Milwaukee Bucks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
Two familiar foes face off at the Fiserv Forum when the Milwaukee Bucks host the Brooklyn Net for this high-profile Eastern Conference NBA matchup. The Nets are in desperate need of a win after a 134-124 loss to the Grizzlies moved Brooklyn to a 1-2 record on the season. The perennial Eastern Conference favorites will now have to face off against the team that knocked them out of the 2020/21 playoffs in a thrilling seven game series. The Bucks have started their season off with a 2-0 record after wins over the Sixers and Rockets and should come into this game extremely well-rested, with four days since they last took the court. It will be another superstar showdown as Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving will be tasked with shouldering almost the entire offensive load for Brooklyn while Giannis will look to continue his dominance over the Nets with another win.

Milwaukee Bucks - Brooklyn Nets: Form Analysis
The Bucks top the Eastern Conference in the early days of the new season with their 2-0 record. They will be looking to continue their standout form from last year which saw them end the year with a 51-31 record and a 27-14 mark on their home court. The Nets were interestingly a better road team last season than when they played at the Barclays Center and we will see if that holds true for the 2022/23 season. Brooklyn squeezed into this playoffs with a 44-38 record last year despite being one of the betting favorites to win the title. They were then swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Boston Celtics.

Milwaukee Bucks & Brooklyn Nets Squad Analysis
The Nets must be sick of the site of the Bucks #34. Giannis has had some of the biggest games of his career against Brooklyn which includes his current seven game run that has seen him score over 30 points six times and break the 40 point mark twice. Additionally, the Greek Freak is 5-1 straight up and against the spread in his last six games when facing off against Kevin Durant. On the other side, Ben Simmons has had a rough start to his Nets career after his lengthy hiatus. The troubled point guard continues to have a mental block regarding his shooting and effectively means the Nets are playing 4 vs 5 on the offensive side of the ball.
Milwaukee Bucks - Brooklyn Nets Key Points
- Giannis has averaged an incredible 36.4 points per game in his last seven games against the Nets.
- The Bucks have the #1 rating in the NBA for defensive efficiency while the Nets rank dead last at 30th.
- The Nets rank 25th in opponent points in the paint, giving up an average of 55.3 per game. Not a good sign when coming up against arguably the best rim attacker in the NBA.

Our Milwaukee Bucks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
We’re going to back the Milwaukee Bucks to win the game and cover the -3.5 spread. The Bucks, and Giannis especially, have owned the Nets in their recent outings and we don’t foresee things changing for this matchup. The Bucks also carry a two-day rest advantage into this game with the Nets last playing on the 24th while the hosts last took the court on the 22nd. Brooklyn has consistently been overrated by oddsmakers since the arrival of Kevin Durant and the simple fact is that this Nets team is just not a well constructed squad.
