How to win $1,000 on Nets-Bucks in Game 7

Deep down, you always knew it would come down to this for the Milwaukee Bucks and the Brooklyn Nets: Game 7. Winner goes to the Eastern Conference finals. Loser goes home.
What you might not have expected was for both teams' biggest perceived weakness to be so evident in the six games before this. Brooklyn’s injury issues cropped up, impacting both James Harden and Kyrie Irving, for instance. Milwaukee’s lack of killer instinct surfaced as the Bucks failed to close tough road games when they had big leads in Games 1 and 5.
None of that matters now, though.
For fans, now is the time to get into the game with the FOX Super 6 app on the critical Game 7 of the Nets-Bucks series. Answer all six questions correctly, and you could win $1,000. It’s easy, free and fun. Just download the Super 6 app on your phone or mobile device.
Here are the six questions for Game 7.
At the end of the first quarter, which team will be winning, and by how much?
The options: Nets by 1-3, Nets by 4-6, Nets by 7 or more, Bucks by 1-3, Bucks by 4 or more, tie
Four of the first six games featured the Bucks carrying the action in the first two quarters. Since the Irving injury in Game 4, Milwaukee has been the more aggressive team early and has jumped to fairly sizable leads.
Will Kevin Durant have more than 32 points in the game?
The options: Less than 32, more than 32, exactly 32
Durant is such a key figure in this game, and with Harden's and Irving’s statuses uncertain due to injuries, Brooklyn needs Durant to step into the offensive role. Maybe it won’t be the 49 that he scored in Game 5, but if Durant scores fewer than 32, Brooklyn is going home.
How many rebounds will Giannis Antetokounmpo have?
The options: 0-8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13-plus
This is a legacy game for Giannis, who has been saddled with the idea that he has been a playoff disappointment because of Milwaukee’s inability to get to the NBA Finals over the past few years. Giannis has to control the game, and to do that, he needs to hit the glass big.
Who will be the top scorer of the game?
The options: Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, James Harden, Khris Middleton, tie, other
Harden is the wild card on this list, aside from the two obvious ones in Durant and Giannis. If he is healthy – and he really hasn’t been since the series against the Celtics – then he is an absolute threat to go off.
How many assists will Jrue Holiday have?
The options: 0-3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8-plus
Holiday had his best offensive performance of the series in Game 6 – a 21-point, five-assist game. He is averaging 7.5 assists per game in the postseason but only 6.0 per game against Brooklyn.
Which team will win, and by how much?
The options: Nets by 1-4, Nets by 5-9, Nets by 10 or more, Bucks by 1-3, Bucks by 4-6, Bucks by 7 or more
There’s one trend that has held up through the series, and that’s home court. It plays into the idea that these teams are better in certain atmospheres than others. The Nets' health issues are huge questions. But Milwaukee has not proven that it can win a big game on the road. I take Brooklyn in that 5-9 range.
