The Nets struggled from the floor in Game 3 hitting just 34 of 94 shots (36 percent), including shooting 8-for-32 from behind the three-point line. They were a solid 88 percent from the charity stripe, shooting 7-for-8, but the lack of chances was staggering.

Nets at Bucks: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Bucks 117, Nets 109
Money line (ML)
The BUCKS (+115) are short ‘dogs at home despite the fact they’re playing in Cream City and the Nets will be without James Harden. Milwaukee has failed to cover all three games in this series so far, but that changes with a resounding win on its home floor.

Against the spread (ATS)
BUCKS +2 (-110) is a tremendous play in Game 4 at Fiserv as short underdogs. The Nets will continue to be without Harden, and that’s a huge break for the home side.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 228.5 (-110) is the play, with Brooklyn missing such a huge chunk of their offense. The Under has hit in the first three games of this series, so why stop playing it now?
