Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
The Philadelphia 76ers are starting to build some momentum now as they’ve won three of their past four games and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after sneaking past the Warriors in a 99-98 home win last night. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 35 points on 13 of 27 shooting, Joel Embiid and Quentin Grimes each scored 12 points while VJ Edgecombe chipped in with 10 points, six rebounds and five assists. As a team, the 76ers shot 46 percent from the field and 10 of 37 from the 3-point line as they dominated the first quarter by 30-10 to open up a 24-point lead. However, they needed rescuing as they lost the lead late and needed Edgecombe to score a crucial tip shot with just 0.9 seconds left on the clock to save the day.
Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have been in a real slump as they’ve lost eight of their last 10 games, but they will be hoping to build some momentum after outlasting the in-form Pistons in a 113-109 win on Wednesday. Kevin Porter Jr led the team with 26 points and seven assists, Ryan Rollins added 22 points with eight assists on nine of 16 shooting while AJ Green chipped in with 19 points on six of 12 shooting. As a team, the Bucks shot 49 percent from the field and 13 of 44 from the 3-point line as they got off to another poor start and looked to be in trouble after falling behind by 10 points late in the third quarter. Before they flipped a switch and dominated the fourth quarter by 35-24 to run down the Pistons and earn the much-needed win at home for their second win in their last three games.

Bucks vs 76ers Prediction
The 76ers are still missing Paul George, Kelly Oubre Jr and Trendon Watford, while the Bucks have ruled out Giannis Antetokounmpo and Taurean Prince. The 76ers are finally getting on a bit of a roll thanks to some easy competition. They were able to secure a thrilling win over the Warriors last night, while the Bucks were ice-cold before they took down the Pistons despite losing Antetokounmpo early in the contest as the role players stepped up. I’m not surprised to see the line so short for this one, as the 76ers would be clear favorites if they weren’t playing their second game of a back to back set. The Bucks were able to get the job done in their last outing, but I think it was more of a fluke. I am sticking with the more reliable 76ers to get the win thanks to another big game from Maxey.
