Bucks at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 126, Nets 122

Moneyline

Unless you're confident in the Nets securing a win at home, I'd PASS on the moneyline in this matchup. Taking the Bucks at -190 odds isn't advised.

Against the spread

NETS +4.5 (-110) is the lean in this game as Brooklyn has done a great job at covering the spread at home. The Nets are 11-4-1 ATS at home, compared to the Bucks producing a 6-6 record ATS on the road.

Brooklyn is also 2-1-1 ATS on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back this season. The lone loss came against the Denver Nuggets earlier this month when the Nets played 5 road games in 8 days.

Over/Under

With this being a pace-up game for the Nets, OVER 240.5 (-110) is the ideal bet on the total. The Bucks play at the 4th-fastest pace in the NBA, and both teams are in the bottom 11 in defensive rating.

Since adding G Damian Lillard this offseason, the Bucks are 20-10 to the Over this season and 7-3 to the Over in their last 10 games overall. On the other hand, the Nets are 9-7 to the Over at home and 3-1 to the Over on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back.
