Brooklyn Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Thursday, 12/26/24

The Brooklyn Nets will visit the Milwaukee Bucks tonight, but there are major question marks about who will take the floor. The hosts have several key players on the injury report, mainly Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Both carry a questionable designation into this game after missing a couple of games each. The Nets have not been able to escape the injury bug either, with their leading scorer Cam Thomas confirmed out and Ben Simmons and Dorian Finney-Smith both questionable. The Nets are 27th in the league in pace over the last 10 games, which could limit the number of possessions both sides get tonight. With so many offensive weapons out, both might struggle to convert their chances here.

It has been 4 games now since the Nets traded away Dennis Schroder, and they have failed to clear the 100-point mark in 3 of the 4 games. In the other, they scored 101. During that stretch of games, they are unsurprisingly dead-last in the NBA in true shooting percentage and offensive rating. Over the last 10 games, the hosts are 28th in fast break points per game and are unlikely to pick up the tempo here. They also take care of the ball, ranking 7th in opponent points off turnovers during that stretch. It will limit the number of easy scores the visitors could pick up from their mistakes. Look for this to be a low scoring one.
