The Milwaukee Bucks will play at home against the Brooklyn Nets in their next matchup in the NBA. They currently hold fifth place in the Eastern Conference and are 5.5 games clear of their 12th-placed visitors. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Bucks are in a rich vein of form and will arrive here confident of another victory against the Nets. Milwaukee won 118-113 in Brooklyn in the most recent matchup and tied the season series at 1-1.

They play each other once again in a week and victory in both fixtures will see them claim the season spoils once again. Doc Rivers’ men, who won the second edition of the NBA Cup earlier in the month, have won 15 of their last 19 games.

They defeated the Bulls away from home 112-91 last time out without Giannis Antentokunmpo and Damian Lillard.

The Nets are struggling and so far sit seven games below .500. Jordi Fernandez’s men have won just twice in their last 10 fixtures and are on a two-game skid.

Brooklyn suffered their 18th loss of the campaign last time out as they fell to the Heat 110-95. The Nets have seven players placed on the injury report for this match.

Ben Simmons, Ziaire Williams, and Dorian Finney-Smith are questionable while Cam Thomas and Bojan Bogdanovic are out.
