Season Matchups vs. Nets
These two squads only met once before the season was put on hiatus, but they will play once in the remaining eight regular season games in Orlando. The Bucks won the matchup way back in January, and it wasn’t particularly close. Kyrie Irving was the leading scorer with only 17. It was a struggle offensively for Brooklyn, with the exception of Nicolas Claxton who dropped 14 on extremely efficient shooting. With almost an entire roster sitting out the NBA restart for the Nets, overlooked guys like Claxton will need to step up against any team.
Caris LeVert struggled mightily off the bench against the Bucks, and with him basically being the top option for Brooklyn, he obviously will need to be much better to keep pace with a potent Milwaukee attack.
