The Milwaukee Bucks are set to take on the new-look Brooklyn Nets for the first time this season when they take a visit to the Big Apple Saturday evening.

The Milwaukee Bucks will reacclimate themselves with the Brooklyn Nets Saturday evening when they face off against them for the first time this season at the Barclays Center.

The Bucks are now winners of their last five contests after edging past the Boston Celtics in a 128-123 victory Thursday night at Fiserv Forum.

And with each and every win the Bucks tally, they continue to open up the gulf between them and the rest of their Eastern Conference rivals that are in playoff contention.

That includes the Nets, but at the moment, Brooklyn rounds out the playoff picture in the East as they hold a 18-22 record that’s good for the eighth seed.

While they wait on the rehabilitation of superstar Kevin Durant, who’s been ruled out for this season as he works his way back from a torn Achilles, the Nets have had plenty of trouble navigating what is essentially a transition season after a star-studded offseason.

And the Nets will enter the proceedings without some key pieces in their rotation such as Joe Harris, DeAndre Jordan, and Garrett Temple, along with Durant, of course.

So without further ado, let’s look at what to watch for in the Bucks’ road clash with the Brooklyn Nets before Saturday evening’s tip-off.
