Game Preview

VJ Edgecombe scored with 0.9 to go, putting his Sixers ahead of the Warriors and eventually getting them a win. It was 99-98 for Philly, who had 19 turnovers but still managed to stay unbeaten and move up to 12-9.

Tyrese Maxey had 35 points in this event, while Joel Embiid had only 12 with 6 boards, yet he missed all 5 three-point shots. Quentin Grimes scored 12 points, and Edgecombe had 10.

The Bucks are on their toes due to the current situation with Giannis, who is considering leaving Milwaukee, and that’s the biggest story for this team at the moment. Not his injury, but his possible trade.

Milwaukee beat Detroit in their last game, 113-104. Antetokounmpo scored only 2 points in three minutes before exiting, but Kevin Porter Jr. kept rocking, scoring 26 points and having 7 assists. He had 7 turnovers as well. Ryan Rollins had 22 buckets and 8 assists, and AJ Green scored 19.

76ers vs. Bucks Head to Head

There was one game between these franchises about two weeks ago. The 76ers won after an OT in Milwaukee, 123-114.

76ers vs. Bucks Predictions

It’s going to be back-to-back night for the Sixers, and we always know that Embiid plays poorly in such cases, or doesn’t even show up. Therefore, we are picking the home team to win, despite Giannis’s absence. The Bucks have depth, and if they beat the Warriors, they for sure have the quality to beat the Sixers.
