Nets vs. Bucks Game Info
Brooklyn Nets (48-22, 20-16 Away) vs. Milwaukee Bucks (46-26, 26-10 Home)
Date: Thursday, June 10, 2021
Time: 7:30 p.m. EST
Venue: Fiserv Forum – Milwaukee, Wis.
Coverage: ESPN
James Harden injured his hamstring immediately in Game 1, and he will continue to be held out today. However, the Nets are proving they do not need his services to take care of the Bucks. After shooting 52.1% from the field and 50% from 3-point range last game, the Nets coasted to a 39-point victory. Along with their terrific shooting, Brooklyn also turned the ball over just eight times and played solid defense against Milwaukee.
The Bucks are a mess. First, they need to stop playing any kind of zone defense against the Nets. It does not work. The Nets are professional athletes who know how to pass the ball and find the open shot. Unlike Miami, Brooklyn is capable of knocking down these shots. Second, the Bucks’ stars are not getting it done offensively. Giannis Antetokounmpo was efficient from the floor, but he still only scored 18 points and missed five free throws. Khris Middleton is struggling with his shot, and Jrue Holiday is not being as aggressive as he should be. They need to turn it around quickly to avoid getting swept.

Nets vs. Bucks Prediction
Shifting to Milwaukee, the Bucks are actually favored in this game. The Bucks are much better at home, and the Nets are much worse on the road. While I’m not expecting the Bucks to even the series over the next two games, they should take today and cover the spread thanks to a good shooting performance from one of the role players.
Prediction: Bucks -3.5
