Prediction
Bucks 121, 76ers 110
Moneyline (ML)
The Bucks (-400) host the 76ers for the second time in the past 16 days, and Milwaukee hopes it goes as well as the previous meeting. The Bucks posted a 112-101 victory in Cream City Feb. 6, covering the nine-point number with the Under (229) connecting rather easily. While the Bucks should ease past the Sixers yet again, risking four times the return is just not good gambling. AVOID and look to the line instead.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Bucks to win returns a profit of just $2.50.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The BUCKS (-8.5, -110) are rolling right along with six covers in their past seven games, including 6-0 ATS in the previous six as a favorite. In addition, there is something about playing on Saturday which scratches that itch for the Bucks, as they’re 10-1 ATS in the past 11 appearances on Saturdays.
On the flip side, the 76ers (+8.5, -110) are 6-19-2 ATS in the past 27 road games while going just 4-12-1 ATS in the past 17 against winning teams. Philly is also 1-4 ATS in the past five trips to Milwaukee.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 226.5 (-106) is the best play in this one. The Over is 6-2 in the past eight meetings in Wisconsin while going 6-1 in the past seven overall in this series. The Over is also 6-1 in the past seven for Philly against winning teams. Milwaukee has hit the Over in four of the past five at home, too, while going 6-1 in the past seven against winning teams.
The Bucks rank No. 1 in the NBA with 109.7 points per game, and they’re second in the Association with a 48.1 field-goal percentage, a good reason why they hit so many Over results.
