The Nets and Bucks run it back tonight after their exciting matchup on Sunday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7.30 pm ET and it’s live on TNT.
We have another six games tonight, including the Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Clippers squaring off at 10 pm ET which is also live on TNT.
We’ve got picks on the side and total for each of tonight’s seven games, be sure to check those out. For now, let’s focus on the Nets and Bucks for our same-game parlay!
Brooklyn Nets ML (+112)
Kevin Durant 4+ Made Threes (+154)
Kyrie Irving Over 25.5 Points (-112)
Khris Middleton Over 2.5 Made Threes (+108)
Parlay odds: +2005
Brooklyn Nets ML (+112)
The Nets were just a three-pointer away from forcing overtime in Sunday’s game and this was with Kyrie Irving struggling from the field for most of the game. We should see a better performance from him tonight and with the necessary adjustments made, especially on the defensive end, the Nets should come out on top here. They are 8-4 ATS in their last 12 games and 14-6 over their last 20 against Eastern Conference teams. Whoever wins tonight’s game will win the season series, which could decide the seeding in the East at the end of the regular season.
Be sure to check out our full game preview for Brooklyn Nets vs. Milwaukee Bucks.
Kevin Durant 4+ Made Threes (+154)
K.D. was on fire on Sunday and nobody on the Milwaukee Bucks roster could do anything about it. He made seven of 13 shots from downtown and finished the game with 42 points. His three-point percentage has been through the roof over his last 10 games — he has shot the ball 59.4 percent during that stretch. In the two games against the Bucks this season he is at 52.9 percent from distance. Think we will see him attempt double-figure shots again tonight and make at least four of them.
Kyrie Irving Over 25.5 Points (-112)
Irving was a disappointment on Sunday, but there’s a good reason for that. Kyrie is currently fasting for Ramadan, which means he cannot consume food or liquids from sunrise to sunset. Sunday’s game was played earlier in the day and Kyrie looked exhausted at times, so it wasn’t really a surprise he finished the game 8/21 from the field. Tonight’s game is a big one and he thrives in these moments, I expect a bounce-back performance and at least 26 points. He has finished with more than 25.5 points in two of his last four games and for the season he is averaging 26.8 per game.
Khris Middleton Over 2.5 Made Threes (+108)
Along with Giannis, Khris Middleton was the main catalyst of the Bucks offense on Sunday. At times the Nets just couldn’t have bodies to throw at him and he took full advantage finishing with 26 points. He also went 3/7 from the three-point line which was the fourth time in five games he has done so. Over his last four games, he is attempting 8.2 shots from distance. Tonight’s game should be a high-scoring one once again, he will get his attempts up and I have no doubt he is capable of making at least three of them.
