The Milwaukee Bucks are set to welcome the Philadelphia 76ers for an NBA 2025-26 regular season fixture on November 20. The game will have the Bucks coming off a second straight loss. In their most recent fixture, they slumped to the Cleveland Cavaliers 118-106, dropping their seasonal tally to 8-7. Similarly, the Sixers suffered a 121-112 loss to the Toronto Raptors in their most recent game, and both teams would hope to get back on the winning track as they lock horns on Thursday.

| Tyrese Maxey O 28.5 points | -110 | – |
Tyrese Maxey has emerged as the Sixers’ offensive firepower in the ongoing season. With inconsistency of Joel Embiid and Paul George sitting out for most of the season, Maxey has shouldered the scoring responsibility of his side. He has been averaging 31.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 7.8 assists through 14 games the Sixers have played this season. Maxey has been shooting 46.1% from the field and 42.3% from the three-point range.
Though Maxey was limited to 24 points against the Raptors, he has had three 30+ point performances in the last five games. In the upcoming game since both Embiid and George are questionable, we can expect Maxey to step up and drop another remarkable performance of 29+ points
The hosts, Milwaukee Bucks had a short playoff run in the previous season, where they were ousted by the ultimate Finalists, Indiana Pacers in the opening round. Considering that the Bucks finished just a spot below the Pacers with a decent 48-34 record, it surely came as a setback for them and fans. They entered the current season with fresh hopes and better strategies and have had a favorable start.
However, the Bucks struggled with consistency despite having All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo. While they hoped for things to get better, Greek Freak’s latest injury concern has seemingly turned them worse.
While talking about stats, the Bucks have the ninth best offensive rating in the league at 117.8, while their defensive rating of 116.0 puts them in the 21st spot.
On the other hand, if we have to sum up the Sixers’ 2024-25 campaign in one word, it would be ‘awful’. The Sixers faced multiple injury concerns in the previous season and finished among the worst performing teams in the standings. However, they underwent a strategic revamp and could pull off a trip to the playoffs by the end of this season. VJ Edgecombe turned out to be a valuable addition to their roster and the star rookie has been delivering remarkable performances one after the other.
Talking about their statistics, the Sixers are seeded eighth in the East with an 8-6 record, tied with the Chicago Bulls. They are sixth in terms of offensive rating with 118.0 and 19th in terms of defensive rating at 115.2.
Considering the stats, and the availability of players on both ends, the Sixers emerge favorites to come on top in the upcoming game.
