The Milwaukee Bucks are coming off a 115-110 loss against the Atlanta Hawks, a game in which Kyle Kuzma made his season debut for the Bucks. Kuzma scored 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 assist in 24 minutes off the bench, shooting 4-13 from the field. Bobby Portis was the game’s top scorer, recording a double-double with 26 points and 15 rebounds, his second consecutive double-double. Damian Lillard also had a double-double with 23 points and 10 assists, nearly achieving a triple-double with 9 rebounds.
The Bucks have been struggling recently, losing five of their last six games and struggling offensively, with Lillard and Portis as the primary scorers and Giannis Antetokounmpo yet to be cleared to return. Despite their recent away record, the Bucks have been strong at home, winning four of their last five home games and averaging 123.8 points per game in those contests.
The Philadelphia 76ers have also struggled recently, losing four of their last five games, including a recent 125-112 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Despite 27 points from Tyrese Maxey, 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists from Joel Embiid, and 14 points and 11 rebounds from Kelly Oubre Jr., the 76ers failed to win. Paul George has been quiet in the last couple of games, which has hurt the 76ers’ offense, while Embiid’s defense has been mediocre. The 76ers have conceded nearly 121 points per game defensively and scored 115 points per game in their last five outings.
The 76ers’ bench has provided little help, with the exception of Quentin Grimes, who, after being traded from the Mavericks, scored 14 points in his season debut for the 76ers. He and Eric Gordon will have larger roles to play, and much is expected of this duo off the bench.
The Playoffs aim to provide the safest bets for the game. Have a look at the predictions for the game below.
