2021 NBA Playoffs - Milwaukee Bucks @ Brooklyn Nets Game 2: Best Betting Picks, Props and Parlay, Monday June 7, 2021
Updated: | First published:
Written by Jason Bevilacqua, Head of Content and Communities
Even after James Harden went down in the opening minute of Game 1 with a hamstring injury, the Nets were able to dominate the Bucks to claim the series opener. With the two teams reconvening in Brooklyn for Game 2, the Nets will start favorites, even with Harden missing. Having Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving helps.

Here are our early bets for tonight's playoff game ⏬
✅ Best Bet
BET: Nets at the moneyline with DraftKings Sportsbook (+10000)
📈 56% probability
The biggest question mark about the Nets' title aspirations has always been about their big three and whether they can remain healthy. With James Harden now down, the answer to the question might be: it doesn't actually matter.
Brooklyn were efficient and dominant in Game 1 as role players like Joe Harris and Blake Griffin stepped up. Can those guys sustain their play at a high level? That might very well be the bigger question at play now, but our data has the Nets continuing to roll on their home court.
On most sportsbook's you can get the Nets ML at odds of around -116, but with DraftKings Sportsbook, you can get some HUGE boosted odds on BKN from just a $1 bet!

🧨 Best Prop
PLAYER: Giannis Antetokounmpo
BET: To score the most points in the match with PointsBet (+130)
Giannis presents some nice plus odds to be the top scorer of the game as Milwaukee's primary scorer. No other Buck scored more than 20 in Game 1 and it's looking likely that the Greek Freak will need to carry the guys on his shoulders once more in Game 2. With Durant and Kyrie powering the Nets offense, the +130 for Giannis looks great to cash.
💥 BetMGM 💥
One Game Parlay
Following on with some Game 1 trends, and it looks as though Brooklyn's lack of a rim protector suits Brook Lopez just fine. He was able to score at will in the series opener and with no suitable match up presenting itself, we think that may continue. Likewise with Blake Griffin, who proved he is a vital cog in this Nets lineup. Middleton racked up double-digit rebounds in Game 1 and we're taking him to get at least eight to round out our One Game Parlay.
🔥 Nets -1.5
🔥 Brook Lopez o14.5 points
🔥 Blake Griffin o12.5 points
🔥 Khris Middleton 8+ rebounds
💰 +2034 with BetMGM
