Today in the NBA, the Nets welcome the Bucks in what should be an entertaining match at the Izod Center. If you plan to watch New Jersey Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our New Jersey vs Milwaukee match preview.
New Jersey Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks
The Nets go into this one with a 28% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Milwaukee Bucks. Avery Johnson will be sure to keep an eye on the Milwaukee streak (L 3), but the key against Bucks will be containing Brandon Jennings, Andrew Bogut and John Salmons. The Nets point differential is -6.2 this season (good for number 29 in the NBA), but not as good as the Milwaukee Bucks’s average losing margin of -2.5 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Bucks will need to play to their strengths and their 26.3 free throws attempted per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 6th best in the whole league in that area). Scott Skiles’s team is 13-21 this season and today will hope to improve their 5-13 record away from Bradley Center.
New Jersey have been dominating their opponents this season in the free throw percentage departement, with a 3.8 free throw percentage differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 19.1 free throws made average per game is 9th best in the NBA, and that will be an area that Scott Skiles and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Nets’ 7-9 home record.
