A pair of powerhouse defensive teams clash in this Christmas Day Eastern Conference showcase. Milwaukee is ninth in the league in points allowed, tops in field goal shooting defense (41.4%). NBA teams like Milwaukee off a win of 10+ points are 42-17 UNDER the total when it's between 220 to 229.5 against an opponent off two or more straight-up wins by 10+ points. This is a tough situational spot for the Bucks, away from home on Christmas Day, and they are 3-7 ATS on the road versus a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Philadelphia's defense is third in points allowed, #11 at defending beyond the arc. The 76ers have won 15-of-17 home games and are on a 63-44 ATS run at home. Back the home dog in a defensive duel. Play Philadelphia and the UNDER.
