MUST-BET Bucks vs. Nets NBA Player Props & Betting Picks Today | 3/31/22

Two teams with such high playoff aspirations at the start of the year have certainly taken different paths to get here – the final regular-season push. Both the Nets and Bucks still have seeding to play for, in Milwaukee’s case it is finishing atop the Eastern conference, as they are just a half-game behind the Heat heading into tonight. The Nets have gone through some mid-season makeovers and recently picked up their play, but it looks like the play-in game for Brooklyn. Kevin Durant poured in 41 points in a narrow defeat of the Pistons, but it was still the seventh win in the last 10 games for the Nets. Kyrie Irving had a nice game against Detroit, bouncing back from two-straight below-average performances, including his home debut two games ago.

The Bucks could move into a tie with the idle Heat pending a victory in Brooklyn. Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to play through a knee injury as he comes off a monster performance in a last-second win against the Sixers. The Bucks have also won seven of 10 games and comfortably moved ahead of Chicago in the Central division, still with plenty of time to secure the top seed overall. There are no key injuries for either team ahead of this game, as plenty of star power is expected all around. Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday have been exceptional compliments to Giannis down the stretch.

Bucks Moneyline: +112 (DraftKings)

Milwaukee has won 11 of the 14 games since losing to Brooklyn and are surging to the top of the East. The Nets have picked up their play but needed multiple comebacks to beat the Pistons. While the Nets are clearly not the same team that looked awful through early March, they are taking on one of the top three teams in the NBA, with a revived MVP candidate playing as such. Irving returned to normal against Detroit, but it took some major heroics from his counterpart in Durant. Those two will not have the luxury to take a quarter or two off against the Bucks. Milwaukee’s depth has returned with Brook Lopez on the floor, which only adds another shooter to help with the spacing. The Nets are still down a couple of guys with long-term injuries and are thin off the bench. The Nets have dropped 11 of their last 12 home games against teams with a winning record, so even when they put something together at home, it is not against top competition.

Andre Drummond Over 1.5 Assists: +115 (DraftKings)

This is one of the top xROI plays available on OddsShopper across this short slate. It takes advantage of expected minutes for Andre Drummond and the constant funneling of shots to Durant and Irving. Drummond is also live for an assist on any kick-out to a shooter. Awesemo’s free projection has Drummond finishing with 2.3 assists tonight. OddsShopper has a 66% chance of hitting this prop, backed by a 41% xROI on the play.

Bobby Portis Over 5.5 Rebounds: +110 (DraftKings)

Bobby Portis should be in a favorable position off the bench against Brooklyn’s second unit. Even playing with the starters helps Portis on the glass as the second big on the floor. Awesemo likes Portis clearing this total, finishing with 6.3 rebounds on the night. OddsShopper likes this bet with a 61% chance of hitting, along with a 27% xROI on the play.

Seth Curry Over 11.5 Points: -120 (DraftKings)

The return may not be ideal on the surface, but there are some high expectations for Seth Curry. Awesemo has the Nets sharpshooter finishing with 13.6 points against a vulnerable Milwaukee perimeter defense. OddsShopper has a 63% chance of this prop going over the 11.5 points, combined with the 16% xROI on the play. Curry has been hovering around this number but the difference in going over it is made 3’s. He should hit three tonight, putting him nearly two full points over the 11.5-point total.
