Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets Pick
Nicolas Claxton Over 12.5 Points +120. Bet $100 to collect $220. Click here for the best odds, available at FanDuel (alt line)
We're shopping in the alt line section again people. I love it here. It just feels right. If you're at DraftKings, don't feel bad though. You have options. For starters, they'll do 15+ points at +185. Not bad. I mean FanDuel will give you +210 for the same bet but still. If you wanted to add rebounds, 15 and 10 will get you +450 at DraftKings so there's that too. Still, I'd say let's just see if we can get some points out of this guy.
The haters are going to call me weak for not taking the 15+ (+210) at FanDuel and they might be right. Even a broken clock is right twice a day so let's not get too excited. Claxton has gotten home on 15+ points in both of the only two games where he's played at least 30 minutes this season so the move needs to be considered. Still, I'll just stick with the over 12.5 at +120. Feels right.
Milwaukee Bucks vs. Brooklyn Nets Prediction
When you look at the Brooklyn Nets' starting five, one thing is pretty noticeable. They only have a couple of guys that are going to take a ton of shots. It makes sense because those guys are Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. The other three, just seem to get what comes to them but our boy Claxton is ranking third right now on the team in shot attempts. What a sneaky cat. The guy has taken double-digit attempts in his last two games. That's how you score people.

Tonight the matchup isn't great. So far this season, the Bucks are only giving up 17.49 points per game to the center position. Not great for us but Claxton almost just dropped a 20-burger on the Toronto Raptors and they have similar numbers against the center position. The point is, I don't think matchup totally matters here since we only need 13. As long as this one stays out of the blowout zone and Claxton gets his full 30+ minute workload, we should be good.
