Bucks vs 76ers Prediction
I’m not thrilled to lay double-digit chalk with the Milwaukee Bucks as much as the next guy, as they’ve outright lost five of their last eight games in these situations. However, backing the 76ers is even less of an option. The 76ers still have half their roster on the injury report, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. These are the worst spots to be for an injured team. The 76ers are 2-8 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. The 76ers are 0-4 SU and ATS in their last four games. The Bucks beat the 76ers by 15 points in October, and this game is even more in their favor. There’s just not much you can do with the 76ers until they get guys back from injury. It may be too late by then anyway. Give me the Bucks in a bloodbath.
