Tonight’s NBA slate only has five games. Regardless, it should be an exciting night in the Association as four of the five games have playoff or play-in tournament implications. As always, odds are powered via PointsBet.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets (-2) Total: 243
The Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets meet up tonight in Brooklyn in a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference semifinals. While Milwaukee has won two of the three regular season meetings, Brooklyn was victorious in the most recent matchup.
Right now, the Bucks are the second seed in the Eastern Conference, only one game behind the Miami Heat. With the Nets likely participating in the play-in tournament, tonight’s game could be a preview of a first round playoff series.

We really don’t know what to expect from the Nets in the postseason: Kevin Durant has missed plenty of time with injuries, Kyrie Irving has literally been a part-time player and Ben Simmons has not been cleared to play. Despite being tied with the Bucks for shortest odds to win the East, there is a chance the Nets will be left out of the playoffs.
The Bucks, like the Nets, have had their ups and downs during the regular season. Unlike the Nets, Milwaukee is starting to hit their stride: since the All-Star break, the Bucks are 11-4 on the Money Line and 10-5 ATS. In that time frame, they are 6-1 on the road and they should push that to 7-1 tonight.
Edge: Bucks +2
