Lost in the Kyrie Irving saga is the impressive depth that the Nets built during the offseason. Key additions include Patty Mills, Paul Millsap and the return from retirement of LaMarcus Aldridge. The Bucks will be without one of their energy players off the bench in Bobby Portis (hamstring) and Donte DiVincenzo (foot) will also remain out. I like the Nets’ depth to help them emerge victorious Tuesday.

The Bucks will raise their championship banner to the rafters. Milwaukee is without Bobby Portis and Donte DiVincenzo for now but did add Grayson Allen in the offseason. Of course, the Nets are without Kyrie Irving perhaps for the season and watching Brooklyn in the preseason, James Harden isn't in basketball shape yet. He has barely played in the past four months or so due to his hamstring issue. Thus, we'll take the champs to cover as the new season begins. The Nets are 1-4 ATS in their past five in Milwaukee.
