A pair of rebuilding teams meet in the East. Philadelphia has a completely new opening lineup from last season with Nerlens Noel, Wroten, Christapher Johnson, Henry Sims and Hollis Thompson. They come off a loss to Indiana, but played better than you might think. The 76ers opened the game by outscoring the Pacers 20-2 in paint and finished with a 48-32 advantage inside. Tony Wroten led the 76ers with 22 points. Noel had six points and 10 rebounds. The No. 6 pick in the 2013 draft missed all of last season with a torn ACL in his left knee. The 76ers are 14-2 ATS against the Eastern Conference, 7-1 ATS when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. They are further along in rebuilding than Milwaukee, a club that bottomed out last season and allowed 108 points in the opener in a loss to rebuilding Charlotte. The Bucks are 0-4 ATS following a spread win, so grab the big dog and play the 76ers.
