I’ve landed 3 same-game parlays over my last 7 attempts, and tonight’s Brooklyn Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks game is a perfect opportunity to add to that. Tipoff is scheduled for 8.30 pm ET live on ABC, continue reading below to see my same game parlay.
We also have predictions on the side and total for the rest of Saturday’s 7-game slate, but let’s dive into the Nets vs Bucks game first!
Milwaukee Bucks 1-10 win margin (+180)
Bobby Portis to score 20+ points (+280)
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 11.5 rebounds (+104)
Parlay odds: +2331
Milwaukee Bucks 1 – 10 win margin (+180)
People are quick to discount the Nets here. I would approach this game with a bit more caution, though. Brooklyn gets Kyrie Irving back since it’s a road game, plus newly acquired point guard Goran Dragic could also make his debut. The Bucks haven’t been very convincing lately going just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 vs Eastern Conference teams. Although I think they should have enough to get the win here, I’m thinking it’ll be a closer game than many people expect. The Bucks are 7-3 SU in the last 10 meetings head-to-head, with a fresh Giannis, Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday they will be a force in the latter part of the season. I just think they might come into tonight’s game with a bit of complacency, which should make for a close game hopefully and a Bucks win.

Bobby Portis to score 20+ points (+280)
Portis had one of his best games of the season the last time he faced the Nets as he finished with 25 points on 56.3% shooting from the field and 40% from 3-point land. He also made all of his free-throw attempts in that game and collected 12 rebounds as well. With Khris Middleton struggling a bit lately shooting wise, this is where Portis comes in to make up for it. He is averaging 18.1 points per game for the month of February, which is an increase of almost 5 points per game compared to January. I have high hopes for him in this game, especially since Kevin Durant isn’t out there to guard him.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 11.5 rebounds (+104)
Antetokounmpo wasted a lot of energy during the all-star weekend, as he scored 30 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the win for Team LeBron. He has been on a tear rebounding wise for a while now. In the month of February he is averaging 11.4 per game and he has collected at least 12 boards in 3 of his last 5 games. He might take a step back scoring-wise here, but when it comes to rebounding the Bucks have way too many injuries right now and basically depend on Giannis to deliver. The Nets are also shorthanded when it comes to big men, they are allowing 53 rebounds per game from opponents this season which ranks them only 19th in the entire NBA. Giannis has gone over 11.5 rebounds in 3 of the last 5 games against them; expect another dominant performance on the glass in this one.
