Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers prediction
It’s hard to take the 76ers serious without Embiid, but they’re as healthy as they’ve been in weeks, as Covington is the only other player expected to be out for Philly. The Bucks will be without Middleton, and they continue to play subpar basketball, don’t defend well, and they’re 13-14 SU on the road. The Bucks are also a horrible 22-34-1 ATS on the season. I’ll continue to fade the Bucks until they can string together success. I have a hard time trusting this team. Give me the 76ers and the free points.
