The Milwaukee Bucks and the Brooklyn Nets duke it out at the Barclays Center on Tuesday night. Here’s a Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets Prediction. This article will include a Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets Pick.
Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview
The Milwaukee Bucks have been in a real slump as they’ve dropped 12 of their last 16 games overall, but they will be feeling a little better after snapping a two-game skid with a 131-115 home win over the Grizzlies on Sunday. Ryan Rollins led the team with 24 points on 10 of 16 shooting; Cormac Ryan added 21 points on seven of eight shooting off the bench, while Miles Turner tallied 19 points with 11 rebounds and two blocks.
As a team, the Bucks shot a sizzling 60 percent from the field and 16 of 32 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 34 points in the first quarter to jump out in front, but this was still a relatively close contest until the fourth quarter, where the Bucks exploded for 39 points to make it a blowout in the end. Taurean Prince barely missed all night as he shot seven of eight from the field for his 19 points, while AJ Green struggled and finished with just six points on two of seven shooting.
Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 12 of their last 14 games overall, but they are coming into this one fresh off a nice win after outlasting the Wizards in a 121-115 home win on Sunday. Nolan Traore led the team with 23 points and seven assists. Jalen Wilson added 19 points with five rebounds and four assists, while EJ Liddell and Josh Minott each scored 15 points.
As a team, the Nets shot 49 percent from the field and 15 of 40 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble after squandering an early 17-point lead, but fortunately for the Nets, they were able to go on a terrific 16-3 run late in the fourth quarter to secure the gritty win in front of their home fans.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Bucks have ruled out Myles Turner, Ryan Rollins, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Porter Jr., Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis, while the Nets have ruled out Ziaire Williams, Nic Claxton, Michael Porter Jr., Noah Clowney and Egor Demin. Both teams have been struggling mightily heading into this contest, but the last time these teams met resulted in a 127-82 win for the Nets on Dec. 14. It’s hard to split these two struggling squads, especially this late in the season, but the Nets looked good in their last home game and I think they can pull off the minor upset with another home win in this matchup.
