Milwaukee Bucks Betting Preview
The Milwaukee Bucks have gone cold lately as they’ve lost five of their last six games overall. They will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after falling just short to the Nuggets in a painful 102-100 loss on Friday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 22 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists, Ryan Rollins added 21 points while Myles Turner chipped in with 17 points and six blocks. As a team, the Bucks shot 40 percent from the field and 12 of 39 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace with the Nuggets through the first three quarters to trail by as many as 23 points. This is a shame because the Bucks dominated the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to just one point with 5.4 seconds remaining before they missed the potential game winner at the buzzer.
Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in a slump as they’ve lost five of their last seven games overall.

Kelly Oubre Jr led the team in scoring with just 17 points on seven of 12 shooting, Jared McCain added 16 points off the bench while Quentin Grimes chipped in with 14 points, but no other player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the 76ers shot just 39 percent from the field and nine of 31 from the 3-point line as they looked outmatched from the start, allowing 41 points in the second quarter to trail by 25 points going into halftime. Before they got outscored by 40-15 in the third quarter to trail by as many as 50 points at one stage.

76ers vs Bucks Prediction
The Bucks are still shorthanded with Kevin Porter Jr and Giannis Antetokounmpo both ruled out, while the 76ers have ruled out Joel Embiid and Paul George due to injury management purposes. The Bucks have really been struggling lately, and they are going to need some role players to step up in the absence of Antetokounmpo and Porter Jr who have been the two best offensive players for them. The 76ers have been in a slump of their own, they are missing a couple key players and they looked terrible in last night’s blowout loss to the Hornets. You really couldn’t back either side with any confidence at the moment, but while I have the 76ers getting the win at home, I expect the Bucks to hang around and keep the margin to single digits in the end.
