Nets vs Bucks Prediction
Another game between two teams that have nothing to play for and usually I want the points in these spots. You’re really trying to pick a team with nothing on the line and have ridiculous injury reports. Both teams are in tank mode. However, the Bucks are still the better team even with a crazy injury report, and they’ve had more success on the road than the Nets have had at home. We’re laying a bucket. I have to give the edge to the Bucks.
