To put it lightly, the Brooklyn Nets were underdogs heading into Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks — as they should have been.
On top of the players who didn’t make it to the Disney bubble, Brooklyn was without Caris LeVert, Joe Harris and Jarrett Allen. Then, mid-game, the Nets lost Jamal Crawford (strained left hamstring).
Yet the Nets walked away with a 119-116 win — the biggest upset the NBA has seen since the 90’s.
So, if anyone decided to put a little cash down on the Nets beating the spread, they made a pretty penny at Milwaukee’s expense.
According to Darren Rovell of the Action Network, there were a few bettors who made out big on Tuesday. Two individuals bet on the moneyline at Bet MGM with the Nets at 13/1. One bettor won $7,800 after putting down $600 and another won $5,200 after putting down $400.
Someone bet $800 on the moneyline (+1300) at FanDuel Sportsbook and won $10,400 thanks to Brooklyn.
Even though anyone betting on the Bucks would’ve had to put a lot of money down to win anything worthwhile, Rovell reported someone bet on the Bucks with Bet MGM on Tuesday.
Now, this individual only bet on the first quarter of the game, expecting Milwaukee to win it. But, this bettor gambled $11,000 to win $1,834 and lost, with the Nets winning the first quarter 40-34.
