As the first round of playoff matches has ended, it is time for the conference semi-finals to take place. While the teams are setting themselves up for the knockout stages, one matchup includes the Milwaukee Bucks vs Brooklyn Nets. The reigning two-time MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo will take on Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets.

We expect fireworks in this matchup as the Nets have reached the semi-finals for the first time since 2014. The Nets defeated the Boston Celtics, while the Bucks swept past the Miami Heat.

So when do the games begin?

Giannis Antetokounmpo vs Kevin Durant

The Brooklyn Nets are the favorites to win the match-up against the Bucks in what will be an exciting series. Despite having the reigning MVP on their side, the Bucks have all to do when they face the Nets to win the NBA championship.

The first two games will be held on June 5 and 7, while the Bucks will host the next two games. The remaining games will be scheduled if necessary. As the Nets were seeded second in the conference, they will have an extra home-court advantage in the series.

Giannis and co will look to take the lead against the Nets in game 1. However, with Harden, Kyrie, and KD, the Nets have a formidable line-up to break the Bucks down. In their last game against the Celtics, James Harden got a triple-double, as well as got 2 steals, and 2 blocks in a dominating performance. The incredible depth of the Nets roster will be the key to their success. Despite that, Giannis will hope to get past the Nets to cement his name in the franchise’s legacy.

The Brooklyn Nets are the favorites to defeat Milwaukee Bucks in this series. However, the Bucks have a talented squad with Holiday, Middleton, and Lopez on the court. As we set the stage for this incredible series, who do you think will come on top?
