Bucks are Getting the Job Done Without Kidd Around
UPDATE: Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid will sit out of tonight's game.
Since firing head coach Jason Kidd, the Milwaukee Bucks are a perfect 3-0 SU. The young Bucks will look to keep the good times rolling against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has led the charge for the young Bucks since returning from a knee injury, as the “Greek Freak” has averaged 34 points along with 11 boards in action while healthy. Milwaukee will be looking for revenge after getting blown out 116-94 at home to Philadelphia on January 20. It’s worth noting Antetokounmpo didn’t play in that game, however.
The Sixers had won nine of their previous 11 before falling 122-112 to Oklahoma City on Sunday despite 27 points and 10 rebounds by Joel Embiid.
The UNDER has been a rock-solid bet when the Bucks have taken the floor lately, evidenced by the UNDER going 8-2 in Milwaukee’s last 10 games.
