BROOKLYN—After starting off the series up 2-0, the Brooklyn Nets have been plagued with injuries to two of their three members of their “Big 3” which has allowed for the Milwaukee Bucks to even up the series at 2-2.
Being that the Bucks have pulled their way back in to make this a competitive series, online sportsbooks have shifted their odds on Game 5 and the series accordingly.
Milwaukee Bucks Vs. Brooklyn Nets Game 5 Moneyline
- Bucks -190
- Nets +165
It should be no surprise as to why the Milwaukee Bucks NBA odds are favored going into Game 5 due to the injuries that are taking place for the Nets. Both Kyrie Irving and James Harden are not expected to play in the game with Irving suffering an ankle injury in Game 4 and Harden dealing with hamstring issues.

- Spread Bucks -4
- Total 218.5
However, it has recently been reported that James Harden is trending in the right direction as he was upgraded from Out to Doubtful and has expressed that he will do anything he can to take the floor in Game 5.
If Harden does not play though, bettors should not be worried at all with just Kevin Durant taking the floor. In the five games this season that Kevin Durant has played without both Harden and Irving by his side, the Nets have gone 4-1.
Also, Durant absolutely explodes in these games without his sidekicks as well as he averages 34 ppg in those five games while shooting at a high 63% overall.

Bettors can not only use that information to their advantage to possibly bet on the Nets to come out on top, but they could also use that to look at Kevin Durant’s point total as well which is set at 35.5 with the Over and Under at -115 odds. Bettors should also not forget that there still is a slight possibility that James Harden might play as well which would shorten their odds to win even more.
That said, bettors taking the swing on the Nets odds should do so sooner rather than later to get the best possible odds.
