Brooklyn Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks are obviously more than capable of blowing the doors off in this spot, and they should be eager to rebound from a rough loss to the Bulls. However, giving up 133 points to the Bulls is concerning. The Nets may be winless, but they were comPetitive against the Hawks and Magic, having their chances to win both. This will be the Nets home debut, which should give guys a little extra juice. Bucks should win, but I don’t love the number. It’s Nets or pass for me.
