The Nets (48-24) were ousted by the Bucks in the 2nd round of the playoffs, led in scoring by Durant (26.9 ppg) as James Harden (10.9 apg) took on a distribution role for an offense that finished 1st in the league efficiency.
Milwaukee led the NBA in scoring and won to their first title since 1971. Giannis (28.1 ppg) and Middleton (20.4) provided the Bucks with instant offence.
Kyrie Irving is still yet to get the jab and will not be wuiting up tonight. These are the most destructive offenses in the game. Overs tempting.

Golden State finished 2020/21 5th in defensive efficiency, but did not reach the postseason. Steph Curry poured in a game-high 41 points on 7-for-14 from the three-point line in the Warriors last Pre-Season outing and is set for a possible MVP year as they Warriors await Klay’s return.
The Lakers fell in their title defense and were ousted by the Suns in the 1st round of the playoffs. Over the break, the Lakers completed an overhaul and now feature the oldest roster in the league.
It’s father time vs the Lakers in many respects.
