In the postseason time and again teams with more rest struggle in Game 1. Look for that to be the case for the Bucks who has had seven full days off since their sweep of Miami. Furthermore, they have not been challenged in two full weeks since their overtime Game 1 victory over Miami. Take the Nets.

The Bucks looked impressive in the first round, quickly dispatching the Heat. The addition of Jrue Holiday has been huge for them, and his defense could be key in this series. The problem for the Nets is that Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving didn’t have a lot of time to play together during the regular season because of injuries. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Bucks win Game 1 outright, so I’ll take the points.

In my opinion, the winner of this series wins the NBA title. This should be fantastic offensive basketball as the clubs combined to average nearly 240 points per game during the regular season. That's tied for the most between teams to meet in a playoff series in the past 50 years (see news feed). Milwaukee won the season series 2-1, but the Nets never had their entire Big 3 in any of those. I also think the season-ending injury to Bucks starting guard Donte DiVincenzo is going be a factor, especially on defense. The Nets are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as home favorites and the Bucks have lost eight straight ATS as dogs.
