Philadelphia 76ers vs Milwaukee Bucks Betting Prediction
When healthy, these two teams would put together a heck of a game and a tremendous series of games. This could be a potential playoff series, and if the 76ers get back to full strength it will be a must-watch. But, right now, Philadelphia is not healthy, and the Bucks are going to take advantage of it. Too much Greek Freak in this game, and then when he is not going crazy, it will be Dame Time. The Milwaukee Bucks are going to win this game at home. Our final bet for this game is the Milwaukee Bucks -8.5 over the Philadelphia 76ers.
- Pick: Milwaukee -8.5.
