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.
