Philadelphia 76ers at Milwaukee Bucks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Milwaukee Bucks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks open their seasons Thursday at Fiserv Forum. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the 76ers vs. Bucks odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting of 2023; split last season’s series 2-2

The 76ers moved on from coach Doc Rivers in the offseason, replacing him with Nick Nurse. Philadelphia finished with a 54-28 record last season before being eliminated in the Eastern Conference Semifinals for the 3rd straight year despite C Joel Embiid winning his 1st NBA MVP award.

The Bucks also made a coaching change, replacing coach Mike Budenholzer with Adrian Griffin in the offseason. After getting bounced in the 1st round of the playoffs in 2022-23, Milwaukee acquired G Damian Lillard to pair with F Giannis Antetokounmpo.

76ers at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 116, 76ers 106

Moneyline

Even though the Bucks are expected to secure the win at home, just AVOID the moneyline in this game. Betting on a team at -250 odds isn’t advised in any circumstance.

Against the spread

BUCKS -5.5 (-115) is an enticing wager as the 76ers are without Harden amid trade rumors, and the Bucks have the clear edge in talent. Even with Milwaukee bringing F Khris Middleton along cautiously off of a knee injury, it’s hard to see Lillard and Antetokounmpo struggling to gel in the season opener.

The Bucks went 24-18-2 ATS at home last season and the 76ers appear to be in disarray before the season even starts.

Over/Under

UNDER 224.5 (-105) is the lean in this contest as it’s tough to see how the 76ers will generate consistent points outside of Embiid. The Bucks should also boast one of the best defensive units again with Antetokounmpo and C Brook Lopez manning the frontcourt.

In the 4 meetings between the 76ers and the Bucks last season, the Under went 3-1.

Brooklyn Nets at Philadelphia 76ers Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Brooklyn Nets at Philadelphia 76ers Game 2 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Brooklyn Nets take on the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of their 1st-round playoff series at Wells Fargo Center on Monday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nets vs. 76ers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

76ers lead the playoff series 1-0; won the regular-season series 4-0

The Nets lost 121-101 in Game 1 of the series on Saturday, failing to cover as 8.5-point road underdogs. Brooklyn has now lost 5 straight matchups against Philadelphia.

The 76ers made a franchise playoff record of 21 three-pointers in the series-opening victory. G James Harden converted 7 three-pointers himself as he finished with 23 points and 13 assists.

Nets at 76ers Game 2 picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 117, Nets 109

Moneyline

AVOID.

Unless you’re confident in the Nets securing the victory in Game 2, wagering on the money line in this game isn’t the smartest idea.

Against the spread

NETS +10.5 (-115) is how I’d bet on the spread despite Brooklyn’s struggles in Game 1. It’s tough to expect the 76ers to make 20 or more 3-pointers again, so this game should be closer than Game 1.

Three out of the 5 meetings between the Nets and the 76ers this season have been decided by 9 or fewer points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 213.5 (-115).

The total has been lowered after Game 1 despite the teams clearing the Over by 7 points on Saturday. Even though the 76ers may not hit 20-plus three-pointers, C Joel Embiid only produced 26 points in Game 1, which is lower than his season average of 33.1 points per game.

The 76ers are 4-0 to the Over in their last 4 games overall and the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

Brooklyn Nets at Philadelphia 76ers Game 1 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Brooklyn Nets at Philadelphia 76ers Game 1 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Brooklyn Nets (45-37) will begin a best-of-7 series against the Philadelphia 76ers (54-28) in the 1st round of the NBA playoffs Saturday at Wells Fargo Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nets vs. 76ers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Nets concluded the regular season as the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference despite dealing F Kevin Durant and G Kyrie Irving away at the trade deadline. Brooklyn registered a 6-3 record in its final 9 games of the regular season.

The 76ers finished as the No. 3 seed in the East with C Joel Embiid and G James Harden leading the way. Embiid led the NBA with 33.1 points per game (PPG) and is a candidate to win his 1st NBA MVP award. Harden scored 21.0 PPG and led the NBA with 10.7 assists per game.

The Nets and the 76ers met 4 times during the season with Philadelphia winning all 4. Three of the matchups were decided by 9 points or fewer.

Nets at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 116, Nets 106

Moneyline

AVOID.

The 76ers are heavily favored to win the 1st game of the series and the entire series, but taking them straight up Saturday isn’t worth the risk at the current odds (-350).

Against the spread

PHILADELPHIA -8.5 (-110) is the lean in this 1st-round matchup with the 76ers looking to set the tone at home. Brooklyn won’t have an answer for Embiid, and Philadelphia will need to make quick work of the Nets to prepare for its next postseason opponent.

Plus, the 76ers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 3 or more days of rest.

Over/Under

We typically see teams slow the game down in the playoffs, but I’ll side with OVER 214.5 (-110) with this being such a low total. Embiid should score plenty of points himself and G/F Mikal Bridges has been a reliable scorer for the Nets since arriving via the Durant trade.

The Nets and the 76ers were both top 15 in offensive rating in the final 15 games of the season.

Philadelphia 76ers at Denver Nuggets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Denver Nuggets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (49-25) face the Denver Nuggets (50-24) Monday at Ball Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the 76ers vs. Nuggets odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The 76ers were unable to cover as 1-point road underdogs in Saturday’s 125-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns. Philadelphia is now only 2 games ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Nuggets cruised to a 129-106 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks as 3-point home favorites on Saturday. Denver is 3 games ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

This will be the second meeting between these teams this season. The 76ers won 126-119 as 3-point home favorites while the Over (232) connected in the first meeting on Jan. 28.

76ers at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 118, 76ers 111

Moneyline

AVOID.

Even though the Nuggets (-200) are expected to secure the victory at home, taking them to win at the current odds isn’t worth the risk.

Against the spread

NUGGETS -4.5 (-115) is my play in this highly anticipated matchup between Embiid and Jokic (assuming Embiid plays) as they are competing for the NBA MVP award in the final weeks of the season. Denver has looked like the much better team recently as it hopes to remain the No. 1 seed in the West down the stretch.

The Nuggets are also 23-13-1 ATS in their 37 home games this season.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 230.5 (-115).

There is a ton of offensive firepower in this game if either or both Embiid and Harden suit up for the 76ers. However, both of these teams are in the bottom 9 in pace this season.

The 76ers are 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record, and the Nuggets are 5-0 to the Under in their last 5 games overall. The Under is also 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between these teams.

Philadelphia 76ers at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Cleveland Cavaliers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia 76ers (45-22) take on the Cleveland Cavaliers (44-27) Wednesday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the 76ers vs. Cavaliers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The 76ers defeated the Washington Wizards 112-93 Sunday and covered as 7-point home favorites. Philadelphia is currently on a 5-game win streak and is 3 games ahead of Cleveland for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Cavaliers covered as 5.5-point road favorites a 120-104 win over the Charlotte Hornets Tuesday. Cleveland has won 6 of its last 8 contests.

This will be the third season meeting between the 76ers and the Cavaliers. They split the first two games straight up and against the spread (with the home team winning and covering in both) and the Over/Under going 1-1.

76ers at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 114, 76ers 110

Moneyline

It feels like Cleveland deliberately rested G Donovan Mitchell on Tuesday to play on Wednesday, so I’m taking the CAVALIERS (+120) in this pivotal matchup. However, it may be worth waiting for the Cavs’ injury report to be released because if Mitchell and C Jarrett Allen are ruled out again then I’d lean toward the 76ers.

Against the spread

CAVALIERS +2.5 (-108) is the ideal pick assuming Cleveland gets Mitchell and/or Allen back in the lineup. The Cavaliers are 28-7 at home this season and this is an important game if they hope to move up to the No. 3 seed in the East.

The 76ers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win and 1-3-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings with the Cavaliers. Cleveland is also 22-12-1 ATS at home this season.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 219.5 (-115).

These teams play at snail-like paces, but this is a low total in a crucial bout. Despite both squads playing at a slow pace, they both are top 9 in offensive rating this season.

The 76ers are 6-2 to the Over in their last 8 games playing on 2 days of rest and the Cavaliers are 6-1 to the Over in their last 7 games following a win.

The Philadelphia 76ers (41-22) take on the Indiana Pacers (29-36) on Monday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the 76ers vs. Pacers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The 76ers edged out the Milwaukee Bucks 133-130 Saturday to cover as 5-point road underdogs. Philadelphia is currently 4.5 games behind the Bucks for the No. 1 seed and 3 games back of the Boston Celtics for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Pacers covered as 5.5-point road underdogs in Sunday’s 125-122 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Indiana is only 1.5 games behind the Washington Wizards for the final play-in spot in the Eastern Conference.

This will be the third meeting between the 76ers and the Pacers this season. Philadelphia won both of the first 2 meetings as they split against the spread and the Over/Under.

Prediction

Moneyline

AVOID.

The 76ers (-250) should be able to secure the win on Monday, but taking them outright at the current odds isn’t advised with the minimal return you’ll receive if they do win.

Against the spread

76ERS -6.5 (-110) is the pick here despite some people likely seeing this as a trap game for Philadelphia. The 76ers are coming off an impressive come-from-behind win over the Bucks Saturday and they realize they can close the gap for the No. 1 seed with a win on Monday.

Philadelphia is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 road games against a team with a winning home record.

Over/Under

OVER 233.5 (-108) is the lean in a massive pace-up game for the 76ers. The Pacers won’t have an answer for C Joel Embiid and G James Harden has been more consistent in the scoring department recently.

Indiana has hit the Over in 4 of its last 5 games against a team with a winning record and the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these teams.

76ers at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 122, Spurs 109

Moneyline

PASS.

While the 76ers (-450) are expected to come away with the win on the road, risking 4 1/2 times your potential return isn’t advised.

Against the spread

Even if Embiid isn’t active on Friday, 76ERS -9.5 (-115) is how I’d play the spread in this contest. The Spurs are expected to be without their primary facilitator in Jones and they’ve lost by 10 or more points in 8 of their last 9 losses.

The 76ers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the Spurs are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Over/Under

UNDER 235.5 (-115) is how I’d bet on the total in this game regardless of the status of Embiid. While the 76ers are 7th in offensive rating, the Spurs are 28th in offensive rating this season.

The Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings between the 76ers and the Spurs when the game is in San Antonio.

Philadelphia 76ers at Detroit Pistons odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Philadelphia 76ers at Detroit Pistons odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

76ers at Pistons picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 124, Pistons 114

Moneyline

PASS.

The 76ers (-220) should win, but there is no need to risk more than 2 times your potential profit on the ML when Philadelphia should be able to win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET 76ERS -5.5 (-110).

Even without Embiid, the 76ers still have a much more talented roster than the Pistons. The trio of G James Harden, G Tyrese Maxey and F Tobias Harris should be able to carry the load offensively and win by margin vs. a Pistons team that just wrapped up a 5-game road trip. The 76ers are 6-4 without Embiid in the lineup this season and should be able to run up the score vs. the Pistons who are ranked dead-last in the NBA in defensive efficiency at home. Lay the points.

Over/Under

BET OVER 229.5 (-112).

The Over is 7-1 in Philadelphia’s last 8 games and 7-1-1 in the last 9 head-to-head meetings between these teams in Detroit. The 76ers should score with ease vs. Detroit’s league-worst defense at home and no Embiid in the paint will make it easier for the Pistons to drive the lane and put up points.

76ers at Wizards picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 118, Wizards 108

Moneyline

Even though I anticipate the 76ers securing a win on the road Tuesday, PASS on the moneyline in this game. While I wouldn’t recommend taking the moneyline at the current odds, I’m fine taking Philadelphia to win in a parlay.

Against the spread

With how well Philadelphia has been playing recently, it’s hard not taking 76ERS -4.5 (-110) in this game. The Wizards won’t have any answers for C Joel Embiid, who has averaged 34 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game on 53.7% shooting in his last 12 games.

The 76ers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Meanwhile, the Wizards are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Over/Under

OVER 222.5 (-110) is an enticing wager as the total seems a bit low. The 76ers and the Wizards have gone Over 222.5 points in both of their previous matchups this season.

The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the 76ers and the Wizards in Washington while the Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings overall.
