The Brooklyn Nets are expected to be the main challenger to the Bucks for the Eastern Conference title. The Celtics defeated that same Bucks team a couple of nights ago, but I like Brooklyn in this matchup.

The Nets looked extremely dominant in a 26-point win over Golden State on opening night and we can note that they defeated Boston by 24 points in the preseason.

I expect the Nets to make a statement here in their first conference game of the season, and former Celtics man Kyrie Irving should have the rest of the team fired up.

8* play on Brooklyn Nets.
