Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction 3-14-24 Picks

The Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks meet Thursday in NBA action at the Fiserv Forum. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Philadelphia 76ers vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction.

Philadelphia 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers have been in a slump as they’ve lost four of their last five games overall and they will be hoping to avoid another blowout after getting run over by the Knicks in a 106-79 road loss on Tuesday. Kelly Oubre Jr. led the team with 19 points, Tyrese Maxey added 17 points while Paul Reed chipped in with 14 points on six of eight shooting off the bench. As a team, the 76ers shot 37 percent from the field and eight of 33 from the 3-point line as they got off to a nightmare start and were never really in the contest after scoring just 14 points in the first quarter to fall behind by double digits right away.

Milwaukee Bucks

Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks have cooled off a bit recently as they’ve lost three of their past four games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after getting embarrassed by the Kings in a 129-94 road loss on Tuesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 30 points, 13 rebounds and four assists, Malik Beasley added 11 points while Damian Lillard chipped in with 10 points and six assists on two of 12 shooting. As a team, the Bucks shot just 36 percent from the field and seven of 39 from the 3-point line, but they weren’t at their usual standards on the defensive end as they could never get back into the contest after allowing the Kings to explode for 75 points in the first half. The Bucks will meet the Suns after this one.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Milwaukee Bucks prediction

The 76ers are still missing Joel Embiid and Robert Convington, while the Bucks have ruled out Khris Middleton and they have Malik Beasley liste as questionable. The 76ers haven’t been able to build any momentum since losing Joel Embiid to injury and they looked terrible in their loss to the Knicks were they scored just 79 points for the second game in a row. The Bucks haven’t been at their best lately, but they are almost at full health and they are coming into this one fresh off one of their worst defeats of the season, so I’m looking at the Bucks to respond with a much better effort in this spot. The line is a little hefty, but the Bucks really shouldn’t have too much trouble getting the win and cover against this struggling 76ers squad at home.
