Why The Bucks Could Cover The Spread/Win

The Bucks come into this showdown with a 22-34-1 mark against the spread. Moreover, they are 10-17 against the spread on the road. The Bucks are also 16-21-1 against the spread against Eastern Conference opponents.

Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in the NBA, averaging 30.8 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. Furthermore, he is shooting 61.6 percent from the field. Lillard is averaging 24.6 points and 6.7 assists per game. Moreover, he is shooting 42.3 percent from the floor, including 34.1 percent from the three-point line. The Bucks will again be without Khris Middleton, who is dealing with an ankle injury. Yet, Lopez is still around and can do damage. Lopez averages 13 points per game. Also, he is shooting 48.3 percent from the hardwood, including 34.2 percent from the triples. Portis is an asset off the bench. So far, he is averaging 11.6 points per game while shooting 47.6 percent from the field, including 38.1 percent from beyond the arc. Beasley is averaging 11.4 points per game while shooting 46.8 percent from the field.

The Bucks will cover the spread if they can build better chances early in the game. Then, they need to contain Maxey and force the Sixers to go in another direction.

Why The 76ers Could Cover The Spread/Win

The Sixers come into this matchup with a 32-24 record against the spread. Additionally, they are 17-13 against the spread at home. The Bucks are also 21-16 against the spread against the Eastern Conference.

But the Sixers will once again be without Embiid. Unfortunately, it's been tough on them. The Sixers are 4-6 in 10 games without him. Now, they must find a way to win against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Maxey is here to take charge. Currently, he is averaging 25.8 points per game. Maxey is also shooting just 44.9 percent from the field, including 37.8 percent from the triples.

Hield has been a nice new addition to the 76ers. In his six games, he is averaging 19.3 points per game while shooting 49.4 percent from the floor, including 45.5 percent from the triples. Harris is averaging 17.5 points per game while shooting  50.3 percent from the field, including 34.7 percent from the triples. Oubre has also been solid, averaging 14 points per game while shooting 46 percent from the hardwood.

The key for the Sixers will be to get consistent shots. Then, they need to slow down this amazing Milwaukee offense. The best way to do that is to contain Antetokounmpo and Lillard and force them to go to one of their other key players.

The 76ers will cover the spread if Maxey and Harris can dominate on offense. Then, the defense has to close out.

Final Bucks-76ers Prediction & Pick

The spread is hovering around 5.5 points. This is where you ask yourself: who has more value? Does the Bucks missing Middleton hold more weight, or do the 76ers missing their best player, Embiid, hold more weight? If you answered Embiid, you are correct. Expect the Bucks to cover on the road against a shorthanded Philadelphia team.
