Milwaukee Bucks vs Brooklyn Nets prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks could be without Giannis Antetokounmpo, so I’m assuming that’s why this line is this soft. Still, the Nets are racking up the losses as of late, and they’re on the end of a back to back, which doesn’t help here. The Bucks are still a talented group with or without Antetokounmpo, and they had their way offensively against the Nets in November. Even with the Nets covering numbers this season, I’d need more points to consider them here on the end of a back to back. Give me the Bucks and the small chalk.
