Advice and prediction

Monday will not be the night Brooklyn gets it together on defense. Take the over in this one.

The Nets should win this one between Kevin Durant and James Harden’s firepower, but the second-best bet in this game is Harden’s scoring total. Although the over is a bit pricier than Durant’s, it’s the safer option.

That being said, if you’re looking for a third bet: since returning from his quarantine, Durant has scored 30-plus points three times in four opportunities.

Prediction: Nets 128, Bucks 124
