Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
I’m not excited to lay double-digit chalk with the Bucks, especially on the road where they’re four games below a .500 record, but there’s no alternative. The 76ers have given up on the season a while ago and they’re not fielding an NBA roster these days. The 76ers are 1-9 SU and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Bucks have won seven straight games against the 76ers and have covered six of those games. The 76ers are 26-50 ATS on the season, which is the worst cover team in the NBA. It’s a big line, but it’s Bucks or pass. The 76ers are terrible.
