Nets vs. Bucks

BEST BET: Nets at the moneyline with (-102)

These two teams are sure to be right in the thick of it at the point end of the season, with the Bucks more likely to top the East at the end of the regular season.

But in saying that, we're going with the Nets to win the opener and spoil the Milwaukee ring ceremony.

At the time of writing, DimersBOT is projecting Brooklyn to have a 56% chance of winning this matchup, which is huge considering they're coming into the game as slight underdogs.

Much of the chatter about the Nets throughout the pre-season has been about a player who won't even be suiting up tonight, with Durant and Harden surely excited to come out and let their basketball do the talking. 

Even with Kyrie out, the two remaining stars on the roster form one of the most devastating duos in the league, which when coupled with Patty Mills, Joe Harris and a host of other support players, should be enough to start the season 1-0.

BEST PROP: Giannis Antetokounpo to score 2+ threes (+225)

We're going for value with our prop play of the night here, taking the Finals MVP to knock down a couple from range.

Three-point shooting has never been Giannis' biggest strength but if there's one thing we know about this man, it's how hard he works to better himself in every aspect of the game. 

In three short stints in the preseason, the Greek Freak hit four of six attempts from deep, hitting two apiece in the last two games against the Jazz and Mavericks.

To add to this, check out Giannis' regular season numbers from three when playing the Nets last season:

• 2 of 6
• 4 of 8
• 4 of 12

If you're feeling brave, we recommend a little sprinkle on 3+ made threes (+810) as well!
