Betting Analysis
Adding star guard Damian Lillard has been a boom to Milwaukee’s offense regarding NBA team stats. The former Trail Blazers guard has scored 23 or more points in three of the Bucks’ five games this season. But one thing that Lillard hasn’t improved is Milwaukee’s defense.

Anyone making Bucks vs Nets betting analysis will see that Milwaukee has been fortunate with injuries this season. The Bucks don’t have anyone listed on the injury report. Milwaukee is the fourth-best 3-pointer shooting team in the league, making 39.1 percent of its attempts.
Anyone watching Brooklyn Nets games will see a nice amount of balance. The Nets have six players who average in double figures scoring. Cam Thomas has been the most consistent scorer for Brooklyn thus far, averaging 26 points per game.
The Nets have been hit by the injury bug early in the NBA season. Small forward Cam Johnson is out with a calf injury. Lonnie Walker IV is probable with a knee injury, and Nic Claxton is out with a high ankle sprain. NBA player stats show that Dorian Finney-Smith has been one of the top 3-point shooters in the league for Brooklyn. He is shooting 48.9 percent from the 3-point line and has made three or more 3-pointers in five straight games.
Betting Picks
This is a unique game on the NBA schedule in that the home team has been better on the road than at home. Milwaukee has had its share of inconsistency earlier this season. Making a Bucks vs Nets betting analysis will show that Milwaukee has had difficulty stopping opponents from scoring points consistently.
When making NBA picks today, it’s hard to know if the Nets have the punch on offense to keep up with Milwaukee. With Brooklyn having some players out due to injury, this is a good spot for the Bucks to build confidence and cover the spread. Milwaukee has yet to win back-to-back games this season. That will change in Brooklyn.
