506 Bucks (-9) over 76ers
The 76ers have a lot of issues on the court and in the locker room. I don’t think the fit between Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid works anymore and it doesn’t seem like they respect the voice of their head coach Brett Brown. They’ve also been inconsistent while Josh Richardson has been out. Meanwhile they have to deal with the best team in the league in the Bucks in a national tv spot. The 76ers did manage to get a 12 point win in their last matchup back on Christmas as they hit 21 threes and played great defense on Greek Freak but both teams have been trending in opposite directions since then and the Bucks may have some revenge on their minds. At home the Bucks have an offensive rating of 116.1 (2nd) and defensive rating of 103.4 (2nd) while the 76ers on the road have a offensive rating of 105.6 (24th) and defensive rating of 110.4 (13th) and over the last week they own the worst defensive rating in the league at 133.2. The 76ers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games and 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 as a road underdog.
