Since then, they have gotten back up to 40-36 with their new additions and have just received the news that Irving will be allowed to play home games.

The news couldn’t have come at a better time as Brooklyn strives to make it into the playoffs. Irving is averaging 27.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists.

Bucks vs Nets Prediction

With Irving inserted back into the rotation following New York City’s change in policy on non-vaccinated players, Brooklyn went up to 1½-point favorites in the sportsbook. The duo of Durant and Irving are incredibly tough to stop, but Milwaukee does seem to be the better overall team right now.

The Bucks are the fourth-best offense in the Association while Brooklyn is ninth. Defensively, Milwaukee is 17th while the Nets are 19th.

If that didn’t already make it seem like Milwaukee was just a step ahead in this contest, factor in momentum where this Bucks squad have won 10 of their last 13 games.

It’s a tight one for those who bet online but the Bucks are an attractive play as an underdog.

Pick: Milwaukee Bucks +1½
