Brooklyn Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 12/25/24, 7:32 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 12/25/24 at 7:43 PM in NBA Picks

For the first time in 7 seasons, the Bucks were excluded from the Christmas card, but the bettors still consider them a dangerous team because they are 6th in the bookies to win the NBA Championship. After a slow start, Milwaukee has a record of 16-12 and has won 7 of the last 10. The penultimate victory was on December 21 against the Wizards, the last on December 23 against the Bulls and now they will receive the Nets on Thursday at the Fiserv Forum being 9.5-point favorites in the betting.

Without a doubt, a more than comfortable schedule for the Bucks who will not face a team that has more wins than losses until the distant January 10. However, the Bucks seem to have to go through this stretch of the season without their two stars. Antetokounmpo, who had a spectacular season averaging 32.7 points, will not be available due to injury against the Nets, nor will Damian Lillard. Without their main players on the court, the Bucks managed to beat the Wizards and the Bulls.

The Nets, on the other hand, are in a rather negative situation, losing 8 of their last 10. The last defeat was against the Heat in Miami 95-110. Even more worrying, 6 of the last 8 losses were by 10 points or more, including two defeats of 25 or more points.
