Brooklyn vs Milwaukee: prediction for the NBA match
Who will record a victory in the central match of NBA game day on January 8? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Brooklyn Nets

Brooklyn got into a little bit of a slump. Even the return of Kevin Durant didn't help the Nets. They suffered defeats in three consecutive matches, losing to Philadelphia (102:110), the Clippers (116:120) and Memphis (104:118). But two days ago Steve Nash's men managed to end the losing streak, beating Indiana (129:121).
Brooklyn needs to avoid defeat in the match against Milwaukee at all cost. Bucks have almost catched up to the Nets, so any mistake can send the New York team into the 3rd spot of the Eastern Conference.

Milwaukee Bucks

Milwaukee is also in a shaky form. Mike Budenholzer's men lost two most recent matches, though their opponents were not so strong. Bucks were defeated by Detroit (106:115) and then failed to avoid defeat in the match against Toronto (111:117).
We should note that Antetokounmpo missed the previous game. Giannis fell ill, but not with coronavirus. It is uncertain, whether he will participate in this match. With him in the squad team probably could've beat the Raptors. It was difficult for Khris Middleton to do all by himself. Bucks will also have to play without Jrue Holiday. He was tested positive for coronavirus.
Trends
СтавкаMilwaukee: total under 112,5 points
In 3 out of 5 most recent away matches Bucks failed to beat that total

СтавкаKhris Middleton: total under 24,5 points
Khris averages 19,5 points per game on away matches

Tip and bets
It is time for Brooklyn to put an end to their bad run. Moreover, Milwaukee will play without some key players. Kevin Durant and co should be able to beat the Bucks and to get revenge for a defeat in the previous head-to-head match. We think that the hosts will get advantage out of visitors' problems. Nets should be able to record a confident victory.
Our prediction - Brooklyn to win with a handicap of (-3) points
On October of the previous year teams were unable to beat the total of 232,5 points. Back then, Milwaukee recorded a 127:104 victory. Now Bucks will play without Holiday. We are not expecting a high-scoring performance from teams.
Our second bet is on total under 232,5 points
