Nets vs Bucks Prediction
The Nets will be without Dorian Finney-Smith and are keeping an eye on Nic Claxton who is questionable, while the Bucks are once again missing Giannis Antetokounmpo who is dealing with a hamstring strain. The Bucks are obviously an inferior team if Antetokounmpo is injured, but they still have enough firepower to defeat the struggling Nets at home.
