Nets vs Bucks Semi-final
Nets:
The Nets trio were dominant enough against the Celtics and in the process, they became the first trio to ever record 200-plus points over two consecutive playoff games. Together, they have averaged 85.2 points per game against the Celtics which is the most by a trio in a playoff series, ever.
The Nets are ranked 1st in offensive end rating, second in % of field goals scored, and first in three-point shooting in the first round. While their defense is still a question mark.
Predicted lineup:
- Kevin Durant – forward
- Blake Griffin – forward
- DeAndre Jordan – center
- James Harden – guard
- Kyrie Irving – guard
Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving combined for 85.2 points per game in the First Round.
That is the most by a trio in any playoff series in NBA history.

Bucks:
The Milwaukee Bucks were the first team to advance into the conference semis after they made a statement by sweeping the Miami Heat in straight 4 games. While the Bucks seem like a very balanced team right now they have to face the Nets trio who got whatever they wanted on the offensive end against the Celtics in the first round. Although the Bucks’s rebounding has been commendable as well. They rank first in offensive, defensive and overall rebounds per game.
While Jrue Holiday will be the player everyone will be looking for, Giannis will likely be tasked with guarding Kevin Durant for most of the game. Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez did a very decent job in Game 4 against the Nets and hope they continue to do so against the Nets as well.

Game prediction:
The series or the game can go either way since both the teams are at their best at the moment. The Milwaukee Bucks were more dominant in the first round, though. Anywho, the Brooklyn nets will have home-court advantage in Game 1 and if the trio impresses enough they take the lead for sure.
