Command Analysis

Milwaukee Bucks

Current form
The Bucks continue to confidently move towards the top of the Eastern Conference. The team is in fourth place, having gained good form and having a series of three victories in a row. Doc Rivers' charges convincingly beat Sacramento (130:115), Orlando (122:93) and Toronto (130:112).
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are in great shape. Their duo provides consistent scoring, and their team play looks increasingly coordinated. Milwaukee is confident both in defense and in attack, which makes them a formidable opponent for any club.
The next match against Philadelphia will be a great opportunity to strengthen our position in the fight for the top 3.

Philadelphia 76ers

Current form
The Sixers are going through tough times. The team is in 11th place in the Eastern Conference and is rapidly losing its chances to reach the playoffs. The reason for the failures is injuries to key players such as Joel Embiid, Guershon Yabusele and Paul George.
The last match against Indiana ended in another defeat (102:115). Tyrese Maxey tried to drag the team along, but without the help of his teammates, he is doing it with great difficulty. The Sixers' infirmary is overcrowded, and the team mood leaves much to be desired.
In the match against Milwaukee, it will be extremely difficult for the guests to resist one of the leaders of the East.
Disqualifications and injuries
Joel Embiid, Guershon Yabusele, Kenyon Martin, Jared McCain and Paul George are all out next game due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
The Sixers have not won in their last five games.

Philadelphia is capable of playing much better, but injuries to key players have thrown the team off track. Tyrese Maxey remains the only hope for the visitors, but it will be extremely difficult to cope with the powerful Milwaukee alone.
The Bucks are showing stable basketball, confidently beating their opponents. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are in great shape, and the support of the stands only strengthens their positions. In our opinion, Milwaukee will confirm its status as a favorite and win again.
Our prediction is Milwaukee win with a handicap of (-9.5) points for 1.73
Bet on total
The visitors are forced to rely on the individual skill of Tyrese Maxey, who already looks tired. Milwaukee sets a high tempo in its arena, but it is unlikely that they will have to give their best against a weakened opponent. Most likely, the total will not be broken.
Betting Tip - total under 225 points for 1.73
Bet on statistics
Without Joel Embiid, Guerschon Yabusele and Paul George, the Sixers are in serious trouble on offense. Tyrese Maxey is doing his best, but he lacks support. We expect Philadelphia to miss the individual total against Milwaukee.
Prediction - Philadelphia individual total under 106.5 points for 1.90
