Philadelphia 76ers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The 76ers are still missing Joel Embiid and Robert Convington, while the Bucks have ruled out Khris Middleton and Malik Beasley’s roster is questionable. The 76ers haven’t been able to build any momentum since losing Joel Embiid to injury and they looked terrible in their loss to the Knicks where they scored just 79 points for the second straight game. The Bucks haven’t been at their best lately, but they’re almost fully healthy and they come into this one coming off one of their worst losses of the season, so I’m counting on the Bucks to respond with a much better answer. effort at this location. The line is a little top-heavy, but the Bucks really shouldn’t have too much trouble coming away with a win and cover against this struggling 76ers team at home.
