The Brooklyn Nets will face the Milwaukee Bucks in one of eight NBA games slated for Saturday. This will be the first Nets-Bucks matchup of the season. So far, both teams find each other in a similar situation.
The Nets are 13th in the Eastern Conference after winning just three out of their first 18 games. The team’s trades this offseason haven’t led to any success as Brooklyn appears to be a bottom-five team in the league in yet another campaign.
Michael Porter Jr. is leading the charge for Brooklyn, averaging 24.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. Cam Thomas has also been solid, recording 21.4 points and 2.6 assists.
The Bucks (8-12), meanwhile, are 11th in the East. Their acquisition of Myles Turner this offseason is yet to bear fruit as Milwaukee is still struggling to establish itself as a contender.
