BROOKLYN, N.Y. (Interstat) — Two struggling Eastern Conference teams seeking momentum will meet Sunday when the Milwaukee Bucks visit the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. The Bucks (11-15) arrive after snapping a three-game skid with a decisive 116-101 victory over the Boston Celtics on Thursday. Guard Kevin Porter, a key player to watch, recorded a triple-double in that win with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. Porter has been a consistent offensive catalyst, averaging 23.2 points and 7.7 assists over his last six games. Milwaukee will look to replicate its performance from a 116-99 home win over Brooklyn on Nov. 29, a game in which Porter contributed 13 points and six assists in just 25 minutes. The Nets (6-17) have shown flickers of improvement, winning three of their last five games, including a 119-101 rout of New Orleans on Dec. 6. Forward Michael Porter has been on a scoring tear, averaging 32.7 points over his last three contests. He poured in 35 points with nine rebounds in the win over the Pelicans, supported by a rare triple-double from center Nicolas Claxton (14 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists). Despite their recent uptick, the Nets remain near the bottom of the conference standings and will be challenged by a Bucks team that, while inconsistent, possesses superior firepower. Milwaukee’s offense, led by Porter and forward Kyle Kuzma (31 points vs. Boston), will test a Brooklyn defense that ranks among the league’s least efficient. Sunday’s contest represents a critical opportunity for both clubs to build a winning streak before navigating difficult upcoming schedules. Following this game, Milwaukee embarks on a five-game road trip, while Brooklyn hosts Miami before a stretch featuring Philadelphia and Denver. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. EST at Barclays Center.
