Philadelphia -10 110 over Milwaukee

8:00PM EST Milwaukee arrives in Philadelphia in a difficult spot, both physically and mentally. The Bucks are reeling through one of their toughest stretches of the season, and the loss of Giannis Antetokounmpo completely changes their ceiling. Without him, their margin for error disappears, especially offensively, where shot creation becomes far more reliant on perimeter shooting. Even with a few extra days of rest due to the postponed game, this is still a thin rotation facing an uphill battle on the road against an elite defensive opponent.

Philadelphia, meanwhile, is in a prime bounce-back position despite the ugly loss in Charlotte. That game was more about absences and effort than a true reflection of who the Sixers are, particularly at home. At Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia consistently controls tempo, defends the paint, and forces opponents into inefficient possessions. Even when shorthanded, their structure and discipline tend to hold up, and they’ve already shown this season they can handle Milwaukee’s supporting cast without needing heroic performances.

From a value standpoint, laying the points with Philadelphia makes sense because the matchup dynamics favor them far more than the public narrative suggests. Milwaukee’s weaknesses without Giannis line up directly with what the Sixers do best: slow the game, protect the rim, and punish thin rotations over 48 minutes. If Philadelphia plays to its normal home standard, the double-digit spread is less about risk and more about capitalizing on a Bucks team that simply doesn’t have the tools right now to keep pace.
