Bucks Need Second Home Win But Underdog Vs Nets

• The Brooklyn Nets are favored to beat the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4 with -125 odds.
• After three games, the Brooklyn Nets have -360 odds to win the series.

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks backs are against the wall going into Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Brooklyn Nets.

After Milwaukee took Game 3 on their home court, online sportsbooks were not impressed as they won by just three points. That being said, oddsmakers have listed the Brooklyn Nets to the favored odds ahead of Game 4.

Bettors should be jumping all over the Brooklyn Nets NBA odds before they become any more favored than they already are. The Nets have outplayed the Bucks in every game this series including Game 3.

The Nets were down by 21 points at one point in Game 3 and were able to crawl their way back in with ease. Many bettors forget just how big of an impact Kevin Durant has when he steps foot on the court as he finished with 30 points. If the Nets could get things going early in Game 4 as they have in Games 1 and 2, they should see no problems coming away with a win here.

Getting into the spread, similar to the moneyline, bettors should be flocking to the Nets to cover as they have covered the spread in all three games against Milwaukee thus far. Not to mention, they have covered the spread in all five of their previous games.

Also, the Bucks have gone 1-10 against the spread in their last 11 games as an underdog and are 0-4 against the spread in their last four games as a home underdog.

Looking at the game total, the Under has been a growing theme for both of these teams despite having plenty of scorers on both sides. The Nets have gone 5-0 with the Under in their last five games against a team with a winning record. As for the Bucks, they have gone 4-1 with the Under in their last five home games.

But maybe the most telling is that the Bucks and Nets have gone 5-0 on the under in their last five meetings.

The Brooklyn Nets opened up as the favorites to beat Milwaukee in the series and oddsmakers are sticking to that even more after the first three games. Being that the Nets have controlled the pace of the series should be the giveaway here to bet on the Nets to win the series before Game 4 tips off.

Now if the Milwaukee Bucks do come away with a win in Game 4, it could be believed that the Nets will still be favored, and bettors could possibly get their series odds for much cheaper than -400.

Those looking to watch their Game 4 bets can do so Sunday at 3:00 p.m. EST on ABC.
