Philadelphia 76ers at Milwaukee Bucks Preview & Picks

Philadelphia are tipped to cover a small spread as they win on the road.

Both teams are dealing with injuries to some key pieces, but the 76ers are the better defensive team and they do have an in-form Tyrese Maxey.

  • Philadelphia 76ers are 4-1-1 ATS in their 6 road games
  • Milwaukee Bucks are 2-3 in their last 5 home games
  • The Under has cashed in each of Philadelphia’s last 5 games
  • The Under has hit in 6 of Milwaukee’s previous 9 games

Head To Head

  • Milwaukee Bucks lead the all-time series 145-134
  • Milwaukee Bucks won 126-113 when the two teams last met on April 3

Philadelphia 76ers Form

Philadelphia head to Milwaukee on an inconsistent run of form, having gone 3-5 in their last eight games to sit at 8-5 in the Eastern Conference.

The 76ers made a flying start to the season as they reeled off four consecutive wins, but they have been unable to maintain that form.

Their perfect start as ended by a 109-108 loss to Boston, and they then failed to build on a 129-105 win in Brooklyn as they lost 113-111 at Chicago and 132-121 in Cleveland.

Philadelphia enjoyed a winning return home as they beat Toronto 130-120, and they then responded to a 111-108 loss to Detroit with a 102-100 victory against Boston.

The 76ers again failed to follow up a win as they lost 114-105 in Detroit, and they then beat the LA Clippers 110-108, only to lose 121-112 at home to Toronto.

Milwaukee Bucks Form

Milwaukee return home on the back of their third defeat in their last four games, which dropped them to 8-7.

The Bucks made a solid start to the season as they won four of their first five games, but they have been unable to string together wins since then.

They bounced back from a 135-133 loss to Sacramento with a 117-115 win in Indiana, and then responded to a 128-100 blowout loss in Toronto with a 126-110 victory over Chicago.

Milwaukee then answered a 122-115 defeat to Houston with a 116-114 win in Dallas, only to immediately return to losing ways with a 111-100 loss in Charlotte.

The Bucks avenged that defeat to the Hornets with a 147-134 overtime win at home, but they have not won since, losing 119-95 at home to the Los Angeles Lakers and 118-106 in Cleveland.

Verdict

Both teams are short-handed in this one, but the 76ers have shown that they can cope without Embiid.

A big reason for that is their good defensive play and the current form of Tyrese Maxey, so we are leaning towards the Sixers on the road.
