Brooklyn Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview

On January 4, 2024, the Brooklyn Nets will face off against the Milwaukee Bucks in a compelling matchup at Fiserv Forum, with tip-off scheduled for 8:00 PM ET. This game is particularly challenging for the Nets, who enter with a 12-21 record and are playing their second game in as many nights. Following a tough loss to the Toronto Raptors, where they fell 130-113, fatigue could become a factor for Brooklyn as they look to snap a three-game losing streak.

In stark contrast, the Milwaukee Bucks come into this game with an 18-14 record and are riding a wave of positive momentum, having won 17 of their last 25 contests. Their recent victory over the Indiana Pacers, a 120-112 success, underscores their strong form and makes them substantial favorites in this matchup. The current spread heavily favors the Bucks at -14.0, with a Moneyline of -850, which gives Brooklyn an implied win probability of just 14%. Meanwhile, the Bucks' chances of winning are pegged at a robust 86%.

For those considering player props, all eyes will likely be on Damian Lillard's scoring ability. His points prop total has been trending upward, moving from Over 21.5 Points (-110) to Over 22.5 (-115) as sharp bettors appear to favor the Over. The Nets will need to find a way to contain Lillard and muster a stronger performance to have any hope against the Bucks' potent offense on their home court.
