76ers vs Bucks Prediction
The 76ers are still missing a host of players, including Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey, and Kyle Lowry, while the Bucks have ruled out Damian Lillard, and they have AJ Green listed as questionable. The 76ers pulled the plug on this season a long time ago, and it’s hard to make an argument for them as they’ve looked terrible during their current nine-game losing streak. The Bucks really haven’t been much better, as they had lost four in a row before their win over the Suns on Tuesday, but they found a bit of spark on offense in their last game. I think they are still good enough to get a comfortable win against a severely depleted 76ers squad.
