NBA best bets for Dec. 27: Milwaukee Bucks at Brooklyn Nets preview, pick and odds
Through 30 games, the Milwaukee Bucks possess one of the NBA’s best records, primarily on the strength of their potent offense. Their defense, however, remains a work in progress.
The defensive issues were most recently on display for a Christmas Day national television audience. The Bucks hope to start correcting some of those woes Wednesday when their extended stay in New York concludes with a game against the Brooklyn Nets, who are coming off two challenging wins against the league-worst Detroit Pistons.
With 22 wins so far, Milwaukee heads to Brooklyn second in the league in scoring at 124.5 points per game, second in field-goal shooting at 49.9 percent and seventh in 3-point shooting of 38.0 percent.
On Monday, the Bucks scored at least 120 for the 19th time but took their second loss in those games in a 129-122 setback to the New York Knicks. That result came two days after Milwaukee earned a 130-111 win over New York.
