Bucks at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 117, 76ers 114

Moneyline

PASS.

Milwaukee is the better team, especially with Philadelphia missing C Joel Embiid. Plus, the Bucks are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings with Philly, including wins in the last 2 contests, so I like Milwaukee to come away with the win here. However, the Bucks (-194) are favored just slightly too heavily to risk betting on. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN 76ERS +4.5 (-110).

Philadelphia has covered the spread in 3 of its last 4 matchups with Milwaukee. Philly is also 3-0 ATS in its last 3 road games. The Sixers are the much better ATS team this season, being 32-24 while the Bucks are 22-34-1.

This is only a lean because neither team has been good ATS lately and because the Bucks are the more talented unit currently.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 231 (-110).

The Under has hit in 3 consecutive games for Philly and is 6-2 in the 76ers' last 8 overall. For Milwaukee, the Under is 4-0-1 in its last 5 outings and is 8-1-1 in its last 10 games overall. The Under has also hit in 3 of the last 5 matchups between these squads, including 2-0 in the last 2 meetings in Philadelphia.

This is only a lean because the Over and Under have been pretty even in recent Milwaukee-Philadelphia matchups, and because the Over has been slightly safer for both teams this season.
