NBA Picks: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets

The Milwaukee Bucks have won 13-straight games against the Brooklyn Nets, which is important to consider when making your NBA against-the-spread picks Tuesday night, as they prepare to meet at the Barclays Center.

Sports bettors will find that the Bucks are 4.5-point road underdogs in the pro basketball odds (courtesy of SBR Forum), while the total stands at 194.5 in the market.

Let's take a closer look at this Eastern Conference matchup from a betting perspective, while offering a prediction along the way.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks are 0-7 against the spread in the month of February, but they did manage to come away with a 94-92 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers as six-point home favorites last time out.

Sports bettors will find that the Bucks are 6-4 against the spread as road underdogs of 3.5 to six points during the 2012-13 NBA season.

Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets won their last two games without the services of starting point guard Deron Williams, including a 119-108 victory over the Denver Nuggets as three-point home favorites six days ago.

Sports bettors will find that the Nets are 0-2 against the spread when playing with three or more days rest this season, with both games going UNDER the betting total.

Prediction

I'm going to recommend that readers back the Milwaukee Bucks as one of their NBA betting picks Tuesday night, as they've gone 13-3 against the spread in their last 16 meetings with the Brooklyn Nets.
