The Bucks have been showing an upward trend recently, with their average points allowed and defensive efficiency improving from being among the worst at the start of the season to now ranking in the middle or upper half of the league. On the other hand, the Nets’ three-point shooting has significantly dropped in recent games, with their scoring hovering around a modest level for several matches. Facing the Bucks, who have made notable adjustments on the defensive end, the Nets are unlikely to have an easy time on offense. However, their defense has been decent lately, so overall, this game is expected to feature lower scoring.

Pick: Total points under 218.5 (Betvictor)
