Bucks vs. 76ers Preview
Milwaukee comes into the contest with a record of 41-34, which places the Bucks sixth in the Eastern Conference. Doc Rivers’s team trails the Detroit Pistons by 0.5 games for fifth in the Conference. Milwaukee has struggled lately, losing six of its last 10 games. The Bucks are coming off a 133-123 victory over the Suns.
Giannis Antetokounmpo leads them with 30.4 points and 11.8 rebounds per game. Veteran Dame Lillard has enjoyed a strong season with 24.9 points per game and a team-best 7.1 assists. Kyle Kuzma has added 14.5 points per game and 6.3 rebounds.
The 76ers have posted a record of 23-53. No team in the NBA has been more disappointing. Entering the season, they were considered a contender in the East, and now are playing for draft position. Philly has the third-worst record in the Eastern Conference and the fifth-worst in the NBA. Head coach Nick Nurse will need a strong bounce-back season next year to stay off the hot seat. The team has lost nine consecutive games.
Tyrese Maxey leads the 76ers with 26.3 points per game, but he will be inactive tonight, and possibly the rest of the season. Quentin Grimes has been a bright spot. In 23 games, he has averaged 22.0 points per game and 4.9 rebounds. Kelly Oubre has added 15.1 points per game and 6.1 rebounds.
