76ers vs Bucks Prediction
The Bucks are a young team still figuring things out, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. The 76ers are rested and riding high with the vibes. However, this is a ton of points for a 76ers team that’s needed two double-digit comebacks to win their first two games. We’re also seeing LeBron on the injury report. The Bucks haven’t played much defense, but they can push the pace and score a bit, which can go against an older 76ers squad that probably doesn’t want to have to get back on defense every possession. I’ll take a shot with the free buckets with the Bucks.
