Through three games in the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets series, it has been very ugly. Nets won the first two games in dominant fashion, and despite the Bucks taking game three, they still have not shown up offensively. For the Nets, Kevin Durant has looked unstoppable and they have figured out something on defense. Neither team shot the ball well in game three, but that is bound to change for one team.
The Pick: Nets -2 (-110)
The Why: Nets' offense
In the first two game if this series, the Nets offense was firing on all cylinders. They were led by Kevin Durant who is averaging 30 PPG and has looked unstoppable. The Bucks have tried many defenders on him but nothing has worked yet. I expect moire of that to continue in game four.
The Nets have shot the ball very well this series too. In games one and two they shot 46.9% and 52.1% from the floor respectively. Game three was the outlier where they only shot 36.2% from the field and 25% from three. Don't expect that to happen again today. This is a nets offense that ranks first in the NBA in FG% and second in 3P%. They have too many good shooters like Joe Harris, Kyrie Irving and Landry Shamet to shoot bad two game in a row.
All in all, we're going to trust the Nets offense and lay the small chalk. The Milwaukee Bucks' offense hasn't shown up yet and there's no reason to believe they will. The Nets have been able to slow down Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kris Middleton enough to keep their offense off. Expect more of the same today. Kevin Durant will go for at least 30 and the Nets will have a much better shooting performance. Take the Brooklyn Nets.
Trends We’re Betting On
Nets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5
Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games
Bucks are 4-10 ATS in their last 14
Bucks are 19-20 ATS at home
Yesterday’s Pick: Clippers -4.5 💰
Another yes win. Clippers came out on a mission to not go down 3-0 and they found themselves with a blowout win. Paul George played well. I thought being at home would be a welcome sight for the Clippers and it was.
