NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking points from Brooklyn Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks

#2 Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton combine for 57 points

Eric Bledsoe led both the teams in scoring with 33 points

The Bucks have an underrated guard in Eric Bledsoe and an underrated forward in Khris Middleton. Playing alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, these two do not get the kind of respect or attention they deserve and their contributions often go unnoticed.

Last night against the Nets, Eric Bledsoe, who recently signed a four-year, $70 million contract extension with the franchise, dropped 33 points on an impressive 12-for-17 shooting. He also nailed two clutch free-throws to give them a two-point lead towards the end of the game. However, the Nets went on a 7-0 run to keep their playoffs hopes alive.

Middleton, who was coming off a 22 points performance in the win against the Philadelphia 76ers, had yet another strong outing and finished with 24 points on 9-for-18 shooting. Howbeit, he struggled from the three-point line and went 2-for-7.
