The Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks meet Thursday in NBA action at the Fiserv Forum. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Nets vs Bucks prediction.

Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets have been in a slump as they’ve lost six of their last seven games overall and they will be hoping to put a halt to a four-game slide after getting routed by the Pelicans in a 104-91 loss on Tuesday. Cam Thomas led the team with 25 points on eight of 19 shooting, Mikal Bridges added 15 points while Dennis Schroder chipped in with 12 points and five assists. As a team, the Nets shot just 36 percent from the field and 12 of 40 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep up right from the start, scoring just 21 points in the first quarter, before they leaked 37 points in the second quarter to trail by as many as 24 points at one stage. Dorian Finney-Smith had a night to forget as he finished with just two points on zero of six shooting in 28 minutes of action. The Nets will face the Knicks after this game.

Milwaukee Bucks

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their last seven games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back in this spot after falling painfully short to the Celtics in a 122-119 road defeat last night. Damian Lillard led the team with 32 points and six assists, Bobby Portis added 24 points and 15 rebounds off the bench while Khris Middleton chipped in with 22points and six assists. As a team, the Bucks shot 53 percent from the field and 17 of 35 from the 3-point line as they got off to a terrible start and trailed in this one by as many as 21 points before they rallied to within two points late in the fourth quarter.

Nets vs Bucks prediction

The Nets are going to be without Dorian Finney-Smith and they are keeping an eye on Nic Claxton who is questionable, while the Bucks are again missing Giannis Antetokounmpo who is dealing with a hamstring strain. The Bucks are obviously an inferior team if Antetokounmpo is out injured, but they still have more than enough firepower to blow past the struggling Nets at home.
