The Brooklyn Nets were able to avoid getting into a losing streak with a convincing win over the defending champions, Milwaukee Bucks, with the final score settling at 126-123. They need to win this game to overtake the Toronto Raptors but the main scorer from the last game, Kyrie Irving, won’t be playing in this matchup. Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons are still on the inactive list and Seth Curry is expected once again to step up his game. Andre Drummond has been playing great for the Nets providing the team a double-double every game while Bruce Brown has been doing his best filling up for Durant.
