Philadelphia at Milwaukee

The 76ers have some momentum, looking to extend their third straight victory, escaping with a 99-98 home win over the Warriors last night. Tyrese Maxey showed he is more than just a great scorer by making a spectacular game-saving block at the end of the game. Philadelphia isn't likely to have Joel Embiid, as he played last night and rarely plays consecutive games. The Bucks, however, are in worse shape. They are without Giannis Antetokounmpo. The two-time league MVP suffered a calf injury this past Wednesday in a win against the Pistons that will keep him out for two to four weeks. Despite the home upset victory over the Pistons, the Bucks are just 2-8 SU and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. There is a good chance the 76ers get back Paul George today. George has been out with a knee injury. The 76ers have one of the better point spread records in the NBA at 12-7-1 (63 percent). The Bucks are 10-13 SU and ATS. Maxey scored a career-high 54 points, leading the 76ers past the Bucks, 123-114 in overtime, in the team's first meeting this season on Nov. 20. Antetokounmpo did not play in that game either. Take the 76ers.
