The Bucks SIC Health Score 91.3 - are coming off of a dramatic win over the 76ers that saw Giannis Antetokounmpo post 40 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, and a game-sealing block.
The 2-time MVP has nursed a sore right knee in recent weeks, and is listed as day-to-day but is probable to play.
Milwaukee, who is now 11-3 since Feb. 28, will look to move to 34-9 when all 3 of Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday play this season.
Brook Lopez has scored double-digits in 5 straight games since re-entering the starting lineup, averaging 13 points and 4.2 rebounds in 24.6 minutes per game while the Bucks ease him back in and Bobby Portis back to a bench role.
Antetokounmpo is averaging 30.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 7.3 assists against the Nets this season.
The Nets SIC Health Score 89.8 - will play their 3rd straight home game with Kyrie Irving vs the Bucks Thursday, having split their first 2 contests against the Hornets and Pistons.
After an insane 5-game stretch that saw Irving average 37.8 points, scoring 50-plus twice, he is averaging 17 points and 7 assists on 33.3% shooting in his last 3 games.
Ben Simmons remains out as he nurses a herniated disc in his lumbar spine and waits for his epidural to take effect, but both Seth Curry and LaMarcus Aldridge have returned from lingering injuries.
Curry is scoring 15.1 points on 49.2% shooting and 47.6% from 3, while Aldridge has not played despite being available the last 2 contests, having lost his minutes to Andre Drummond and Nic Claxton.
Potential Plays:
Khris Middleton O21.5 Points - This will be his third game back from a wrist issue, went over prop last game, should score in bunches against a poor Nets defense
Bucks ML (+112) - The defending champs are the healthier squad, can easily win game outright as Giannis knee issue of no concern
