Milwaukee At Brooklyn Nov. 19

Two weeks after they host the Knicks, Brooklyn welcomes Jason Kidd back to the Barclays Center. Kidd led the Nets to their first playoff series victory in seven years. Now in Milwaukee, he leads a team headed by standout rookie Jabari Parker and Brandon Knight. Kidd looks to be tested in the great north as the Bucks went 15-67 last season. Brooklyn has a clear advantage in terms of veteran leadership and most individual matchups.

As is the case against Toronto, this is a matchup of youth against veteran savvy. Brooklyn and its fans should pull out all the stops to stifle the Kidd-led Bucks. My prediction: the Nets take this one.
