Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers Odds
Milwaukee Bucks Team News
Last season was not the brightest, although it seemed like it would be at the beginning. In the league part, the Bucks finished first in the Eastern Conference with a score of 58-24 and entered the playoffs with high hopes. However, they were defeated in the first round by the Miami Heat, who later became a finalist.
Milwaukee Bucks enters the new season with significant changes. Adrian Griffin was appointed as the new coach, instead of Mike Budenholzer. It was just a prelude to what was to come, and it was the biggest NBA transfer in last few years. Damian Lillard replaced Portland with the Bucks and will represent the biggest reinforcement of this team. A boost, with which Giannis Antetokounmpo can once again dream of an NBA title. However, it remains to be seen how fruitful that move by the Bucks management was, primarily because Jrue Holiday, the team’s leader until recently, left the team. Holiday may not have the offensive arsenal of Lillard, but he has some other elements that led Milwaukee Bucks to a title.
In five preliminary, semi-reveal games, Milwaukee Bucks won three times. In the last check, they were better than Memphis with 124:116, with the top game of Antetokounmpo, who recorded 26 points, seven rebounds and four assists. He was followed by Lillard with 19 points, so it is obvious who will be the main speaker in the next season.
Philadelphia 76ers Team News
Every season is pretty much the same for the Philadelphia 76ers. They always hope for something, have a respectable team, only to stumble without much of a fight, after which every bad thing that has happened to this franchise that season comes out.
This time will be no different. James Harden had a heated argument with the team’s general manager Daryl Morey and it seemed that he would change the team and go to the Los Angeles Clippers. Morey did not allow him to do that, which caused the anger of the American shooting guard. Such circumstances accompany the start of the season and the question is how motivated Harden will be to prove himself. That is the biggest question mark. As for Joel Embiid, he can enter the next period with a little more relief, as he finally received the much-coveted MVP award last season. He fulfilled his expectations and now he will once again try to lead the team first to the top of the Eastern Conference, and then to the NBA title, which is still unlikely.
In the introduction before the match with the Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers beat Atlanta Hawks 120:106, with a very good game by De’Anthony Melton, who scored 29 points, while Embiid added 21. It was the second win in a row for the 76ers, after two consecutive losses at the beginning of the preparatory period, so they enter the new season in solid form.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
With great euphoria due to the new signing of Damian Lillard, Milwaukee Bucks will try to give its fans an immediate spectacle. On the other hand, they will have a diverse team, which is a question of how they will look at the beginning of the season. For now, it seems that the Bucks are more organized and because of the better relations within the team, they are slight favorites. When you add to all that the higher quality of the team, it is logical that our proposal should be the win of the Bucks, with higher margin than the offered handicap.
