Bucks vs. Nets Betting Preview: NBA Picks & Odds

Bucks vs. Nets Game Info

Milwaukee Bucks (46-26, 20-16 Away) vs. Brooklyn Nets (48-24, 28-8 Home)
Date: Monday, June 7, 2021
Time: 7:30 p.m. EST
Venue: Barclays Center — Brooklyn, N.Y.
Coverage: TNT

The Bucks have nobody to blame for the Game 1 loss but themselves. They put up over 100 shots in the track meet, converting on 44.6% of them. Even fans who didn’t watch the game can easily point out why they lost. First, they shot 11-for-19 from the free-throw line. Those 8 points were costly in the end, with a 115-107 loss. The Bucks also shot 6-for-30 from 3-point range, and they turned the ball over six more times than Brooklyn. Simply put, they need to be more efficient all around.

The Nets were able to get the win despite Harden exiting the arena to get an MRI on his hamstring. He has been ruled out for this game, with the team labeling it “hamstring tightness.” Luckily, the Nets have Kyrie Irving to slide over and be the primary ball handler while Kevin Durant does his thing offensively. However, the big story was the performance from Blake Griffin, who finished with 18 points and 14 rebounds. If he keeps up this level of hustle and play, the Nets will be a very tough team to beat in the postseason, regardless of Harden’s status.

Bucks vs. Nets Prediction

Where Milwaukee will really struggle in this series is defensively. It continues to play too much zone defense, which easily gives up open jump shots. The Nets are not the Miami Heat; they will hit their shots. I don’t see the Bucks making the adjustment in Game 2, and I believe that will be to their detriment. While it will be a close game, close games typically come down to free throws. I’ll side with the home team to go up 2-0.

Prediction: Nets -1 (FanDuel Sportsbook)
