For the fourth and final time this season, the Milwaukee Bucks will take on the Philadelphia 76ers, and the home team will look to complete the sweep with a much-needed victory.
Paul George has been on a roll offensively, and my Bucks vs. 76ers predictions and NBA picks expect him to rack up points against a shorthanded opponent.
Bucks vs 76ers prediction
Bucks vs 76ers best bet: Paul George Over 18.5 points (-120)
Paul George has been great as a scorer since returning to this Philadelphia 76ers lineup. Across his last nine games, PG has averaged 22.1 points and 3.7 triples while shooting 46.8% from the field and 42.3% from beyond the arc.
Across the last five games, the Milwaukee Bucks rank 27th in defensive rating at 125.6. The team has surrendered the ninth-most points per game (120.3) and the fifth-highest shooting percentage from beyond the arc (41%).
George has scored 19+ in seven of his last nine, doing so in three straight at home. George has been stellar against Milwaukee this season, averaging 24.3 points and five triples in three matchups. He's shot 52.1% from the floor and 53.6% from downtown in those games, scoring 19+ in each of them.
The Bucks are missing several key defenders, and George should be able to take full advantage. With Joel Embiid sidelined, George should be the second option on offense behind Tyrese Maxey, and I don’t expect a depleted Milwaukee team to slow him down in front of the home crowd in a critical game.

Bucks vs 76ers same-game parlay
The 76ers have failed to cover the spread in four straight games, but they’ll return from a three-game road trip in a must-win situation. A Sixers win and losses by the Magic and Raptors would move Philly into the No. 6 seed, so I expect the home team to come out highly motivated.
Neither offense has been playing at a high level lately, but this Bucks defense is so depleted that Philadelphia should be able to score at will in front of the home crowd.
Aside from Joel Embiid’s absence, the home team is healthy, and Paul George and Tyrese Maxey can lead Philly to a big night on the scoreboard and push the Over the total.

Our "from downtown" SGP: Next man up!
Milwaukee’s injury report reads like a CVS receipt, so Cormac Ryan, A.J. Green, and Ousmane Dieng will need to step up to provide big minutes on the final day of the season.
Ryan has averaged 19.2 points across his last six games, going for 20+ in three of them. He finished with a career-high 28 points in his last game out.
Green has scored 20+ in two of his last three. He went off for a career-best 35 points in his last game, setting a Bucks franchise record with 11 triples.
Dieng has averaged 6.7 rebounds across his last seven games, grabbing at least seven four times. With most of the team’s frontcourt sidelined, Dieng should see plenty of opportunities to crash the glass.
