BROOKLYN, N.Y. (Interstat) — Two teams at the bottom of the NBA standings meet Tuesday night when the Milwaukee Bucks visit the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center.

The Bucks (31-47), who snapped a five-game losing streak with a 131-115 win over Memphis on Sunday, will look to build momentum against the league-worst Nets (19-59). Brooklyn is coming off a rare 121-115 victory over Washington, just its third win in the last 20 games.

Despite their records, the season series is split 1-1. The Nets routed the Bucks 127-82 in Brooklyn on Dec. 14, while Milwaukee earned a 116-99 home win on Nov. 29.

A player to watch for Milwaukee is guard Cormac Ryan, who is coming off a season-high 21-point performance in 29 minutes against Memphis. Over his last three games, Ryan is averaging 19.0 points and 3.0 assists while seeing increased minutes. His emergence provides a bright spot for a Bucks team that has struggled defensively, allowing 120.2 points per game during its recent 2-8 stretch.

For Brooklyn, forward Jalen Wilson has been a consistent contributor. He posted 19 points, five rebounds and four assists in Sunday’s win and has scored in double figures in five of his last seven appearances, averaging 13.4 points over that span.

The Nets have been competitive lately despite their record, with five of their last nine losses decided by 10 points or fewer. Rookie guard Nolan Traore, who had 23 points and seven assists against Washington, adds dynamism to their backcourt.

Milwaukee center Myles Turner, who had a 19-point, 11-rebound double-double Sunday, will be a focal point inside against a Nets team that ranks last in the league in rebounding.

This game opens a critical back-to-back for both clubs, who will face each other again in Milwaukee on Friday. The Bucks will travel to Detroit on Wednesday, while the Nets host Indiana on Thursday.

Tuesday’s tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EDT at Barclays Center.
