The Philadelphia 76ers head to Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Thursday night, hoping to make amends for an embarrassing defeat to the Boston Celtics. They still cannot count on James Harden, who’ll wait for his debut in the Sixers uniform for a little while due to a hamstring injury, so let’s see what’s the best 76ers vs Bucks betting pick. Milwaukee hosts Phila for Game 2 of their three-game regular-season set, searching for its seventh straight victory over the 76ers.

76ers vs Bucks Betting Pick
This game will be played at Fiserv Forum at 8:30 PM ET on Thursday, February 17, 2022.
Why Bet The Bucks:
✅ As we have mentioned above, the Bucks have owned the 76ers as of late. Milwaukee is undefeated in six consecutive meetings with Philadelphia. The Bucks have covered the spread five times in that span and are 11-5 ATS over their previous 16 dates with the Sixers. Back in November, the Bucks outlasted the short-handed 76ers 118-109 and covered a 7-point spread away from home.
✅ We have also mentioned the Sixers’ embarrassing loss to the Celtics. Last Monday, Philadelphia hosted Boston and suffered a 135-87 defeat as a small 2-point home underdog. The 76ers made only 28.7% of their field goals and 25.0% of their triples, while their starting five scored a paltry 40 points between them. The Bucks, on the other side, snapped their two-game skid last Tuesday. They failed to cover a massive 14.5-point spread, but the Bucks didn’t have too many problems defeating the Indiana Pacers 128-119 at Fiserv Forum. It was their fifth victory in the last seven outings.

✅ Joel Embiid has recorded 30.4 points and 12.4 rebounds a night in his last nine appearances. The Bucks will have a tall task to slow down Embiid, but the Sixers will have an even taller one, as Giannis Antetokounmpo has dominated his rivals recently. Over his last nine apps, Giannis has averaged 32.8 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 5.8 assists a night. He’s just dropped a 50-burger on the Pacers.
Philadelphia 76ers
The 76ers have gone 3-4 straight up and 2-5 ATS in their last seven outings. Philadelphia is sitting at the fifth spot of the Eastern Conference standings at the moment. The Sixers trail the No. 1 seed by two and a half games.
Phila owns the tenth-best defensive rating in the NBA, yielding 109.5 points per 100 possessions. In five of their last seven contests, the Sixers have held their opponents below a 110-point mark. They’ve scored just 108.4 points per 100 possessions in that stretch.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks have failed to cover in three straight outings, while their last six contests have gone over the total. They occupy the third spot in the East, trailing the No. 1 seed by a game and a half.
Over their previous seven games at any location, the reigning champs have registered the second-highest offensive rating in the league, posting 120.3 points per 100 possessions. The Bucks rank fourth in the NBA in triples made per game (14.2) and fifth in 3-point percentage (36.2%).
