Brooklyn Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Milwaukee Bucks are as healthy as they’ve been all season, and they’ve won 7 of their last 10 games. Things are looking up for the Bucks and this is a game they should win as well. The problem is the Bucks just haven’t been consistent enough to trust with these sorts of lines, and they’re 9-12-1 ATS on the season. The Brooklyn Nets are 14-8-1 ATS on the season, and they did beat the Bucks back in October as 8.5-point dogs. I’ll take my chances with the Nets and the free buckets.
