Milwaukee Bucks (-5.5) @ Philadelphia 76ers 7:00pm est
Milwaukee comes into this game on a four game winning streak, and they are looking to keep that alive. They are currently 25-14, and sitting at third in the Eastern Conference. Giannis is shooting at 56.3% with an average of 29 points per game.
The 76ers are on a six game win streak and are 28-12, and first in the Eastern Conference. They are averaging 115.4 points per game and only giving up 110.2 points per game. The big headline for this game is that Joel Embid will not be on the court tonight.
Bottom line, Joel Embid needs to be on the court to stop Antetokounmpo from running around and maybe even posting a triple double. Unfortunately for the 76ers, this is going to be a statement game for #34 Giannis. He needs to show the #1 seed in the East who really runs this conference. Milwaukee is 18-8 in games decided by at least 10 points. With the Bucks playing this hot, and Embid out tonight, it might be over quick.
Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks -5.5
