Nets at Bucks picks and predictionsPrediction
Bucks 114, Nets 101
PASS.
There is no value on the Bucks (-600) to take care of the Nets, who have won just 3 games this season and are dealing with numerous key injuries.
LEAN BUCKS -11.5 (-105).
Twelve of the Nets’ last 13 losses have come by at least 10 points, with 9 of those coming by at least 12 points. While the Bucks have hit a serious skid, dropping 7 games in a row and going 1-6 ATS during that time, they have a great opportunity to get back on track against a struggling Nets team. While Antetokounmpo was on the injury report yesterday, he played and led the team in scoring and should be expected to have similar numbers again Saturday, which will help boost the team.
BET UNDER 220.5 (-110).
The Nets have hit the Under in each of their last 5 games and in 7 of their last 8. They have scored 109 or fewer points in 8 of their last 10 while allowing 113 or fewer in 5 of their last 7.
The Bucks have hit the Under in each of their last 3 and 5 of their last 7. They have scored 109 or fewer in each of their last 3 and in 5 of their last 7.
