Bucks vs 76ers Betting Pick
This game will be played at Wells Fargo Center at 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, March 29, 2022.
Why Bet The 76ers:
✅ The Bucks are struggling with nagging injuries that affect their lineup. Giannis Antetokounmpo sat out a heavy 138-119 loss at the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 19. A week later, the Bucks missed Jrue Holiday in another heavy loss at the Memphis Grizzlies, 127-102. On the other side, the Philadelphia 76ers are coming in full strength.
✅ Joel Embiid dominated the Bucks last time they met. He scored 42 points on a superb 14-for-21 shooting from the field and 11-for-14 from the charity stripe to go with 14 rebounds, five assists, and a steal. The 76ers outlasted the Bucks 123-120 as 6.5-point road underdogs to snap a six-game skid against Milwaukee, while both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis struggled to defend Embiid.

✅ Playing on the home court should help the Sixers, who have gone 11-6 straight up in their previous 17 outings at Wells Fargo Center. Their fans will be fired up, so the Bucks should prepare for a hostile environment. Milwaukee has dropped three of its last five contests away from home, including the previous two. Also, the Bucks have gone only 1-4 SU and ATS in their last five road tilts against the Eastern Conference.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks opened their three-game road trip last Saturday, suffering an embarrassing 127-102 defeat at the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies. The reigning champs had an awful day in the office and couldn’t overcome Jrue Holiday’s absence. They shot only 39.8% from the field and 21.9% from beyond the arc while yielding 66 points in the paint.
Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped 30 points on Memphis to go with 11 boards, four dimes, and four steals. George Hill replaced Holiday in the starting lineup and finished with a paltry five points and three assists, while Khris Middleton had 16 points on a poor 5-for-16 shooting from the field.
Philadelphia 76ers
The 76ers wrapped up their three-game road trip last Sunday, losing at the mighty Phoenix Suns 114-104 as 4.5-point underdogs. They also put an end to a three-game winning streak, as the Sixers made only 41.6% of their field goals and 27.8% of their 3-pointers.
Joel Embiid dominated the Suns in the paint. JoJo accounted for 37 points, 15 rebounds, three steals, and a couple of blocks, but his teammates didn’t help a lot. James Harden went 2-for-11 from the field and had 14 points, while the 76ers’ second unit added only 15 points and five assists.
