- My selection is on Philadelphia plus the points over Milwaukee at 7 pm ET on Sunday.
The 76ers are looking to halt their five-game losing streak, including a 115-102 setback in Indiana last night. While the back-to-back spot is challenging, Philadelphia has shown resilience in limiting opponent opportunities, holding four consecutive opponents to 86 or fewer field goal attempts and 10 of the last 12 to fewer than 90 attempts. Their defensive approach should keep them competitive against a Milwaukee team riding high after three straight blowout wins both SU and ATS.
The Bucks' defensive lapses have allowed their last three opponents to surpass 90 field goal attempts, which could give the 76ers a chance to capitalize. Milwaukee may also be at risk of a slight letdown after a strong recent stretch, making this a spot where Philadelphia can surprise as an underdog.
Take Philadelphia. Projected score: Milwaukee 114, Philadelphia 110.
