Nets vs. Bucks prediction: NBA odds, picks, best bets for Wednesday
The Brooklyn Nets return home Wednesday night to Barclays Center after handing the Pistons their record-breaking 27th straight loss Tuesday.
The Nets welcome in the Milwaukee Bucks, who had their seven-game winning streak snapped by the Knicks on Christmas Day in a 129-122 loss at Madison Square Garden.

The Nets have won two straight games, albeit both against Detroit following a five-game slide.
