Although it's relatively weak, two teams could make the postseason with a losing record in the East, Milwaukee is well positioned in the Eastern Conference NBA playoff race. The Bucks are sixth in the East as they own a 6.5 point cushion over Miami and trail Washington by just 1.5 games in the chase for fifth. That said, Milwaukee (31-25) is lagging 13 games behind the conference leading Atlanta Hawks. The Bucks have been busting a move as they were on a 9-1 recent run but they just dropped back-to-back contests 97-86 at home to Atlanta on Sunday and 87-71 in Chicago on Monday.
One almost has to pity Philadelphia fans. Quick - give us the total "Big Four" Championship titles won in Philly over the past three decades. Everyone who answered "one" receives a Gold Star as the Phillies 2008 MLB World Series win was the only parade down Broad Street in the last 30 years. That was proceeded by the 76ers second NBA title celebration in 1983 - the 76ers only championship in the past 50 years. Sitting with a 12-44 record, Philadelphia will be hard pressed to get to the 19 wins they recorded last season - their lowest total since they posted 18 victories during the 1995-96 season.
Milwaukee vs Philadelphia Forecast: As bad they are, the 76ers have lost by ten points or more just four times over eleven games. Milwaukee has just one win by 11 or more points over their last 13 games. The Bucks really shouldn't be giving double digits points to anyone. Give us the 76ers with a 100 unit wager on the point spread price posted on the betting board at the Bet Online Sportsbook.
