Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks will meet again today,June 15,at 8:30 pm (ET) at the Barclays Center in Brooklynfor the second round of the 2020/21 NBA playoffs. Here, you’ll find all the match information, predictions, odds, and how to watch the game.

The Brooklyn Nets went from being the clear-cut favorites to win the Eastern Conference to dropping back-to-back games on the road. Worst than that, they might be without two of their three best players for an extended period.

Kyrie Irving left Game 4 with a lower-leg injury and is now questionable for Game 5. Needless to say, the Bucks will try and make the most of that by just swarming Kevin Durant on every single possession.

Brooklyn Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks: Storylines

The Brooklyn Nets are now missing their top-two ball-handlers and playmakers in James Harden and Kyrie Irving. Their offense was stagnant and predictable with both of those players out, and Kevin Durant will need to do a lot of heavy lifting to try and get the lead back in this series.

The Milwaukee Bucks were a significantly better team when Giannis Antetokounmpo played at center. They surrounded him with shooters and finally stopped using him as the handler in pick-and-roll sets. Also, PJ Tucker played outstanding defense on Durant down the stretch and that will also be crucial if they want to advance to the next round.
