The Brooklyn Nets find themselves in an early-season hole at 1-2 as they travel to Milwaukee to take on the undefeated Milwaukee Bucks.
Whenever the Nets and Bucks play, it is a must-watch game. In the context of this season, the Nets do not want to fall further under .500 to 1-3, and the Bucks want to continue their dominant play at home and further distance themselves from the Nets in the playoff seeding. It's never too early to talk playoffs!

It's no surprise that Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving dominate the scoring for the Brooklyn Nets. The duo shoulders a combined 60 points per game!
So far this season, reinforcements have come in the form of big man Nic Claxton. Claxton is coming into his own and can be a force on offense and defense. He is on the verge of averaging a double-double while averaging close to 3 blocks per game.
The Brooklyn Nets would benefit from having another legitimate scorer from the outside.
When it comes to the Milwaukee Bucks, it is Giannis Antetokounmpo's world, and we are all living in it!
Giannis is a stat machine averaging 32 points and 13 rebounds a game. The Bucks, though, need their other star players to step up as the next highest scorer is Brook Lopez at 13 points per game.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets Match Details
Fixture: Brooklyn Nets @ Milwaukee Bucks
Date and Time: Wednesday, October 26, 7:30 PM ET
Venue: Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets Best Pick:
The line on Giannis is high, so I'm not feeling as confident on that one. The Brook Lopez line feels much better. Lopez has the skill set to score from the inside or outside. Claxton has been a problem defensively, but Lopez should expand his range and perform well in this one.
Brook Lopez; Points: Over 11.5
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets Final Prediction
A match-up of two teams that know each other well, a match-up of two teams that, at the moment, are too reliant on their superstars. The Nets are asking KD and Kyrie to do all the heavy lifting. Meanwhile, the Bucks are not giving Giannis any help offensively.
We know all about the Bucks! It's hard to say the same for the Nets. If you ask me, I'll take the team with the momentum on their side - give me Milwaukee!
