Bucks at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 118, Nets 110

Moneyline

Unless you see the Nets picking up the win at home over the Bucks, AVOID wagering on the moneyline in this contest. Backing a team at -225 odds isn't worth the risk given the minimal return you'll receive if they secure the victory.

Against the spread

BUCKS -5.5 (-110) is the play in this game as the Nets are lacking size in the front court with Claxton still sidelined. With Claxton ruled out, Brooklyn won't have an answer for F Giannis Antetokounmpo or C Brook Lopez.

While the Nets are 5-0-1 ATS to begin the season, the Bucks are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

Over/Under

Both teams have capable scorers on the court, but UNDER 233.5 (-110) seems like the ideal bet here. The Bucks should improve defensively as they get adjusted to having G Damian Lillard, and the Nets are still without a couple of their starters.

The Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings between Milwaukee and Brooklyn.
