AMEDEUS' NBA SLAM DUNK!
(NBA) Philadelphia vs. Milwaukee,
Point Spread: -7.50 | -106.00 Milwaukee (Home)
Result: Win
The 76ers are coming into this game with a 36-29 record this season but they have been awful in their recent games. The 76ers were once a very strong force in the Eastern Conference but an injury to Joel Embiid has really derailed their season as they are still in a position to make the playoffs but have been nowhere near as good without him in the lineup. They are coming off of a loss on the road against the Knicks in their last game, a game they lost by close to 30 points, and they have lost 4 of their last 5 games as well. Their 2 losses in that span against better teams in the Knicks and the Pelicans were both by 8+ points while their other 2 losses in that span were against some of the worst teams in the league, losing to the Nets and the Grizzlies. They are going up against a Bucks team that is 42-24 this season and currently sitting in 3rd in the Eastern Conference, tied with the Cavaliers after losing their last game. They have not been playing well in their recent games as they have lost 3 of their last 4 games and really struggled in their road trip out West, but they are coming off of a loss in their last game against the Kings by 30+ points and they are going to be hungry to respond here now that they are back at home. The Bucks have been much better at home this season at 25-7 and they have also won 4 of their last 5 games there with 3 of those wins coming by 10+ points. They also beat the 76ers on the road a few weeks ago by 20+ points in a game that Embiid was missing in and the 76ers are simply not going to have an answer for the Bucks here on the road, especially with the Bucks hungry to bounce back from an awful loss in their last game. The Bucks will cover the spread in this game.
