This game does not have the luster that was originally anticipated as the Nets are without Kevin Durant (injured) and James Harden (traded). Struggling to stay healthy, Brooklyn has dropped 13 of its last 15 games. They were 129-106 losers to Boston on Thursday and offered little resistance at the defensive end.

This is Milwaukee’s first game since the All-Star Break. Their last seven games before the time off all went Over the total. That’s the way I expect this one to go. In five of those seven games, the Bucks scored 120 or more.

We saw just how little defense the Nets play when they allowed the Celtics to shoot 54.1 percent overall and 40.5 percent on three point attempts. The Bucks will have no issue scoring tonight.

But what about their defense? The Bucks are giving up an average of 122.2 points their last five games. That’s not good at all.

Expect a ton of points in this game. Take the Over.
