I’m on the whole game under 227 and Bucks team total under 217.5. Looks like Philly will throw the kitchen sink at them defensively.

I do not trust the 76ers on the road they are so bad (9-18). They frequently get blown out and can lose to almost anyone. Risky man but GL if you decide to roll with them.

How about this... They are terrible on the road... Get blown out on the road frequently.. it's a revenge game for the bucks who for a fact will come out strong.... Philly has a back to back coming up.. so will more than likely give in once being down big... What more reason would you like? Oh yeah... Bucks were embarrassed by them in Philly.... So the beatdown is on the way. Hope I saved you money.

So you're going to play Philly just because of the line Lord smh.. refer to previous posts where ppl did that exact madness for the Miami game. Philly is not a good road team my dude. What is the responsibility or merit in picking Philly lol in a revenge game at that on the road against a high powered team that plays both ends and comes out strong like every game. Good luck

I was on the Bucks for all of these reasons plus my "belief" that they play well in prime time.  This "belief" was really only based on that Giannis loves to play in prime time and usually elevates his game.  I cannot say that there are any stats to back this up.  

I can though say that the Bucks are 5-11 ATS this year in prime time games, dispelling my own assumption. BOL to all peace_5

You will not survive here. You are not a wolf, and this is the land of wolves now...

Bucks get 13 14 15 pt spreads on the regular lol common sense they would be 5-11 ats prime time lol. Bucks simply are who they are. They play the same way every game.. they play hard tough defense.. get out and run.. shoot the three well.. never take a game off. Philly are who they are... A bad team on the road... Their defense is not the same on the road.. their offense is not the same on the road. I don't get how people make betting so difficult. Betting Philly in this game is a bad bet lol. It's like wishing on a star.

If your not comfortable with the full spread simply take bucks at the half.

Spread was 3 in Philly.. 3 pts are added at home.. right.. but thing is.... Nobody would bet Philly at +6 against bucks at home... Add 3 more.. boom.. you got decent action to level it out. Although Philly is a bad road team.. they don't get treated as such with their lines because people like to bet Philly. .. case in point .. the Miami game... Miami was only given 2... Case in point.. Philly getting -7 on the road against Atlanta... Case in point.. ppl trying to justify betting them even tonight lol

Cool .name calling .. nice comment.. back to what u said " interested in where the line may be.. I may make a play on Philly".. correct me if I'm wrong.. is that not implying that you may make a play on Philly based on how the line moves? Where in your comments did you mention lineups etc... It's already established that everyone is playing and that Philly made a trade lol

The Bucks can gas anyone in the last half of the 4th quarter. I've seen them time and time and time and time again, and again and again, go on a huge scoring and defensive run on the tail end of the game. 9 points, they can be down 5 with 4 minutes left and cover that 9 plus some

With the recent skid they've been on, the blowout in their last game and then the acknowledgement of issues within the locker room after that game, I could see this being one of those games where the Sixers put all the bullshit aside and come out firing like they have something to prove. Which they do and what better a spot to do it than against the best team in the league/conf? Feel like +9 is a lot here. 

 

That being said they are a horrible road team and this is the last game of this road trip and they may just mail in it until they get home, not really confident enough to bet on this one yet

Taking a step back here.  The Bucks are obviously the top team in the East.  Theoretically the 76ers should be at worst the 3/4 best team in the East (lump them in with Celtics and Raptors).  Is there a 9 point gap between the best and the 3/4 team in the East? 

Also the 76ers posses a lot of length, which has led to their struggles with spacing issues.  However this is actually a strength going against a team like the Bucks who are at their best when Giannis is driving the lane and kicking it out to open shooters and give opponents fits with their own length defensively.  Further, the Bucks best defensive strength (guarding the perimeter) is neutralized a bit when the 76ers game isn't based on 3s.

When playing well, the 76ers are a matchup nightmare for the Bucks.  With that said the 76ers are not playing their best right now but I still think they can keep in relatively close within the 9 point margin.  The 76ers are bursting at the seems right now and this may be the game to let out all their frustration and come together as a team.

They've lost 3 games in a row on the road by double digits, now playing the best team in the NBA. Definitely seems like a legit line. Everyone seems to be banking on the 76ers actually trying this game. Tough call, I think they try also. But I thought after losing to the Hawks something would trigger in them, yet they still got blown out two games in a row after that.

Lololol my guy the line was set by Vegas so idiots could bet on Philly lol. It's a line that had 3 added on top of the extra three given at home lol . Philly is not going to win this game.
