Game 2's Bucks vs Nets live stream is scheduled for today (June 7) at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.
The game is on TNT, which is available on Sling TV — which is currently on sale down to $10 for the first month.

It's time for the Bucks vs Nets live stream, and this game 2 looks a lot like a game 7 — or at least that's how Milwaukee's chances look. After James Harden left game 1 (re-aggravating his hamstring injury) the Nets still found a way through, as Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant were enough to take a win in that NBA playoffs live stream.

Brooklyn's success until now has depended on having Harden in the lineup with this team of all-stars. Somehow, the Bucks couldn't get a win with the Nets down to their Big 2. Eyes are on Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton to do better tonight than they did in game 1 — where they shot 13-of-42 from the field.

And because of how game 1 went, the Nets are still the favorites to take game 2. If the manage to roll through the Bucks, we're curious how they'll handle Trae Young, whose presence is dominating the Hawks vs 76ers live streams.

The big mood going Bucks vs Nets live stream is "well, Milwaukee really needs to win this game." And that's easily explained. If they can't win a game without Harden, it's hard to imagine the story of the series is going in any other direction. 

The Nets go into Game 1 as 1.5-point favorites. The over/under is 233.
