This Bucks team has a new look with the addition of Damian Lillard and their offense will be powerful this season. They host the 76's at home and while Embiid will play, James Harden has made his feelings well known as to not wanting to play for this team. With the team chemistry out of whack to start the season, take the more exciting team who are at home while it may take Philadelphia some time to gel with the off court distractions.

Milwaukee is 25-13 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points over the last 2 seasons. Milwaukee is 16-5 ATS as a home favorite of 6 points or less over the last 2 seasons. Philadelphia are 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games against Milwaukee. Philadelphia are 5-15 SU in their last 20 games when playing on the road against Milwaukee.

Best bet: lay the points with Milwaukee.
