Prediction
Bucks 121, Nets 107
Moneyline (ML)
The Bucks (-400) are overwhelming favorites against the Nets (+300), who have been reeling lately. Still, you can’t risk four times your return on investment. AVOID. There just isn’t enough value in tossing lettuce behind Milwaukee with a $10 bet returning a profit of only $2.50 with an outright win.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The BUCKS (-9.5, +105) are worth a look, especially at plus-money. They’re 7-3 ATS in the past 10 games on the road, and 13-4 ATS in the previous 17 against teams with a winning overall record. The Nets (+9.5, -129) are 2-9 ATS in the past 11 games overall, and 1-6 ATS in the past seven as an underdog.
Milwaukee has dominated the series in head-to-head matchups, too, going 26-9-1 ATS in the past 26 meetings, including 15-5-1 ATS in the past 21 trips to the borough.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 231.5 (-115) is the lean in this one. However, a line in the 230’s is just too high. It might very well happen, but that’s just not worth the headache of sweating it. The over is 4-1 in the past five meetings, and 8-3 in the past 11 in Brooklyn. I’d go really, really light on the under, or AVOID altogether.
