What to know about the Bucks
Milwaukee has gotten off to a lukewarm start as a rebuilt unit led by star Giannis Antetokounmpo and guard Damian Lillard. Antetokounmpo is averaging 24.0 points per game and 8.4 rebounds, well below his 2022-23 averages of 31.1 PPG and 11.8 rebounds per game. Surprisingly, he has only posted double digit rebounds in two of the team's five games.
Lillard is averaging 23.0 points and 4.6 assists, also below his averages last year in Portland of 32.2 PPG and 7.3 assists per game. He has scored at least 25 points in each of Milwaukee's wins this season and only six and 15 points in the team's two losses. Big games from Antetokounmpo and Lillard would go a long way towards beating the Nets tonight. See which team to pick here.
What to know about the Nets
Brooklyn has been a bettors dream thus far in the 2023-24 season as it hasn't lost against the spread in its first six games. Guard Cameron Thomas is averaging 26.0 points per game, and veteran forward Mikal Bridges is dropping in 20.3 PPG for the Nets. Despite no longer having any of their old headliners, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving, this Brooklyn team continues to play hard for coach Jacque Vaughn.
Another bright spot for Brooklyn has been the play of forward Ben Simmons, whose play has been very consistent this season. In five games, Simmons has averaged 7.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game. If these unheralded players can continue their current success, Brooklyn can contend for a top-six spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs. However, the team will be undermanned tonight as Nicolas Claxton (ankle) and Cameron Johnson (calf) are both out. See which team to pick here.
