Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: January 26 vs Brooklyn Nets
By Adam McGee
Major key for Milwaukee – Capitalize on Brooklyn mistakes
For all of the positives that have seen them slightly outperform the expectations of some who had penciled them in to be one of the teams rooted to the very bottom of the NBA, the Brooklyn Nets are a young team who will still make plenty of mistakes from night-to-night.
The Nets are the fifth most turnover-prone team in the league and they rank dead last in terms of field goal percentage, making just 43.7 percent of their shots.
An area where Brooklyn doesn’t have any problems is rebounding, though, and as the NBA’s fourth best team on the glass, they’ll be expected to have a colossal advantage against the league-worst Bucks.
If Milwaukee hopes to counteract the advantage Brooklyn will likely earn on the boards, they just have to make sure they punish the Nets’ mistakes.
Put simply, if the Bucks can score off Brooklyn turnovers, get out and run in transition, and shoot well overall, the should come away with the win.
