Will James Harden & Giannis Antetokounmpo Play Tonight? Brooklyn Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks Game 4: Prediction, Injuries & Lineups

The Brooklyn Nets face off against the Milwaukee Bucks in game 4 of their second round series. This match-up is scheduled for 3:00 PM EST and will be held at the Fiserv Forum.

After dominating the Bucks in the first two games, the Nets looked in prime position to complete a sweep against Milwaukee. But the high flying Nets fell flat in game three against the Bucks. With players like Joe Harris and Landry Shamet missing shots, the Nets depended on Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving for their offense.

But some questionable defending from KD and Co. resulted in the Bucks eventually winning the game 86-83. While the Nets did fall of a cliff in game 3, Steve Nash will hope that his team can put can improve their shooting and take a crucial 3-1 lead in the series which will put the Nets in driver’s seat once again.

The Bucks, meanwhile, made a much needed comeback after going down 2-0. Giannis and Co. certainly put on a show in game 3, and the duo of Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton stepped up in game 3.

Scoring a combined 68 points, the duo carried Bucks’ offense and ultimately to a comeback victory. If they want to tie the series, they will have to be solid defensively and Giannis and Co. have to be explosive in the offensive end.

Predictions

While the Nets did dominate in the first two games, they showed some cracks in the third game especially defensively. Given that it was only Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton who literally dominated the Nets, it is scary to imagine if the Bucks role players start clicking in all cylinders.

With Giannis and Co. having home court advantage, other players like Middleton also stepping up, the Bucks surely have an edge in this match-up.
