Fanduel Odds

This is one of the best matchups we will see in the NBA this year. Giannis vs KD is a spectacular show, not to mention the rest of the stars on the court. These teams run it back, after Giannis and the Bucks got the better of the Nets on Sunday. Giannis went off for 49, and despite KD’s 42, the Nets couldn’t keep up. The Bucks get home court advantage, have won 2 in a row, and are almost fully healthy except for Jeff Teague who is doubtful. While watching the game on Sunday, I kept thinking to myself that the Nets are so much better and more talented than the Bucks, but it may be the case that the Bucks are just a good matchup for them. I think they will get another win tonight and head into the playoffs playing their best basketball. The Nets, despite being uber talented, haven’t played a lot together because of injuries and personal reasons, so that is also a factor in how they play this late in the season when fatigue starts to kick in. Take the Bucks Money Line, Giannis Antetokounmpo over 31.5 points, and Kyrie Irving over 25.5 points.
