Philadelphia 76ers vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
The Milwaukee Bucks should be favored at home, but I don’t like what I’m seeing from them. The Bucks continue to underachieve, and they’ve lost six of their last eight games. The Bucks were favored in four of those six losses. I also want less to do with the Bucks when Giannis Antetokounmpo is inactive. The 76ers injury report is looking better than it has in past weeks, and that’s great news when you consider they’ve won six of their last nine games undermanned. Not my favorite spot on Sunday’s card, but if forced to pick, I’m going to grab the free bucket with the 76ers.
