However, Brooklyn is simply too talented to be bet against. Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving are maybe the best of all of the “big three’s” we’ve seen, at least in terms of individual skill.
With that said, anyone who thinks that Milwaukee matches up well enough to win can get pretty generous odds on sports betting sites for the Bucks to win the series.
The Bucks did take two of the three regular-season games against, so there is definitely a chance.
