Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Points Over 225 – 1.625.
The Bucks look too insecure. They don’t always manage to play at their level. With that kind of action, Milwaukee probably won’t be able to play well in New York.
At the Barclays Centre, Brooklyn has a crazy offensive game. In their last game against the Warriors, the Nets scored 143 points. Before that, they scored at least 120 points against Charlotte and Atlanta.
The Brooklyn Nets leader Kyrie Irving is out of action. He suffered a calf injury in the game against the Detroit Pistons. The player has already missed the games against the Warriors. By the way, the Brooklyn Nets won this game (143-131).
In the home game, Kevin Durant proved to be very productive. The forward scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
The Brooklyn Nets have won 7 straight in the regular season. In addition to their success against the Golden State Warriors, the Nets also defeated the Detroit Pistons (124-121), Toronto Raptors(119-116), Washington Wizards (112-100), Indiana Pacers (136-133), Atlanta Hawks (120-116) and Charlotte Hornets (122-111).
The Brooklyn Nets have secured a spot in the Eastern Conference Top 4. They played 32 games, winning 20 and losing 12.
The Milwaukee Bucks are the new leaders of the East. However, the team had a bad game in the last day. The Bucks were defeated by the Cleveland Cavaliers (106-114).
The Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo was the top player in that game. He had a double-double of 45 points and 14 rebounds.
The Bucks had previously posted two wins over the New Orleans Pelicans (128-119) and Utah Jazz (123-97). Another stumble could deprive the Bucks not only of their lead but even of third place. Ex-leaders Boston and Cleveland are already on their heels.
The Milwaukee Bucks have played 31 games this season. They have won 22 meetings and lost nine.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Brooklyn Nets: Patty Mills – Ben Simmons – Kevin Durant – Royce O’Neale – Nic Claxton.
Milwaukee Bucks: Jrue Holiday – Grayson Allen – MarJon Beauchamp – Giannis Antetokounmpo – Brook Lopez.
Only Yuta Watanabe (Day-to-day) is listed as injured for the Brooklyn Nets.
Khris Middleton (Out) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Milwaukee Bucks.
The fixture will be played at Barclays Center (17.732) in Brooklyn, New York, USA.
This starting whistle will sound on the 24th of December, 2022, at 00:30 UK Time.
