Brooklyn Nets (0-0)

vs

Milwaukee Bucks (0-0)

As we gear up for another exciting NBA season and great matchup between the Nets and Bucks, I reflect back to last season where the Bucks took down the Nets in game 7 of the Eastern Semi-Finals. That was an amazing series and KD was 1 inch away from hitting a spectacular game winning 3, but his toe was on the line which sent the game to overtime where the Bucks ended up winning. The Nets were banged up in that series, posing both Kyrie and Harden for several games, leaving Durant to carry the team by himself. Both teams have gotten better over the offseason, and both have added key defensive players. I expect the addition of defensive players and the ferocity of the rivalry between these two teams to make it a low scoring defensive focused game. Additionally, the NBA’s new rule to not call fouls on “non-basketball moves” will certainly send less players to the free throw line, especially guys like James Harden. Take the under 233.5 total points and Grayson Allen under 10.5 points.
