Command Analysis
Nets' board did a fantastic job to sign some of the best players of the league. James Harden was added to a star duo of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, so team became one of the major title contenders.
Brooklyn performed great during the regular season, but couldn't secure the top spot in the Eastern conference. Despite that, Nets had no problems in the first round series against Boston. Steve Nash's players lost only one game to Celtics (119:125).
In the next round Nets were drawn to play against Milwaukee, which is a very unpredictable matchup. In the current moment each of the opponents has two victories, but now New York outfit will have to play not only without James Harden, but also without Kyrie Irving. who is sidelined and no one knows where he will recover. Overall, team is on a terrible situation, so hosts will need a miracle to win this series.
Bucks finished third in the Eastern conference, only behind Nets and Sixers. Of course it was very important to gain a good form during the regular season, but playoffs is a completely another story.
In the first series Milwaukee easily went past Miami without a single defeat. Giannis Antetokounmpo and his partners left no chance to the finalist of a previous season.
The battle against Brooklyn is like a final for the Bucks, because Nets are one of the strongest teams in the league. Mike Budenholzer's team started the series terribly, losing two matches to the opponent. But after that Wisconsin outfit started to play better and now the score is even. Of course, Kyrie Irving's injury affected the Nets' performance and guests are now in a winable situation, but without a doubt, we will see an interesting battle.

Tip and bets
Steve Nash's team had to do a great job to build a game plan around three stars. With every game Brooklyn was looking better and better, but now, after the injuries of James Harden and Kyrie Irving Nets will have to change their plan. Milwaukee knows about their opponent's problems and will try to take advantage. Giannis Antetokounmpo and his partners already levelled the score and now they will push hard on their opponent, which, in our opinion, will help them to win.

Nets are an offensive team, so they rarely play defensively. Bucks know that this is the right moment to step up and destroy their opponent. We think that teams should be able to beat the total in this game.
