Head-to-Head:
The Bucks have had the upper hand against the 76ers, and Philadelphia's current nine-game losing streak only strengthens Milwaukee’s advantage. With the 76ers struggling defensively and playing at a faster pace since Joel Embiid’s injury, this game projects to be a high-scoring affair.
