The Bucks are on the right track, but will they be able to hold on?
The Bucks enter the contest after notching an 18-point win against the Toronto Raptors as Giannis Antetokounmpo scooped up 35 points and 13 rebounds. They have won an impressive six out of the last seven games. However, all these wins have been against struggling teams and their only loss came against the elite New York Knicks. Antetokounmpo is a candidate for the MVP award whereas Damian Lillard has hit his groove with the team. But the rest of the squad needs to be more consistent if they want to win against high-ranking teams.
The 76ers have fallen apart
The 76ers come into this game after a 6-point loss against the New York Knicks despite a 33-point outburst by Tyrese Maxey. They are on a four-game losing streak and have lost seven of the last nine matches. Joel Embiid’s injury has once again posed troubles for the team and while Paul George has massively improved his play, it hasn’t been enough to cover their frontline deficiencies in the absence of Embiid. At this rate, the team risks missing out on even the Play-in tournament. This seems like another wasted season during the Embiid era as the 76ers find themselves in trouble despite strong off-season moves.

Key stats:
The battle is basically an Antetokounmpo-Lillard vs Maxey-George clash. Antetokounmpo has been unstoppable lately and is the best two-way player among the two teams. That gives the Bucks an edge especially considering their red-hot form against losing squads and the 76ers’ endless woes. Thus, the Bucks are a safe pick here and can notch a 10+ points win here.

nba Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
