Bucks vs. 76ers Game Info
Milwaukee Bucks (25-14, 10-9 Away) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (28-12, 18-3 Home)
Date:Â Wednesday, March 17, 2021
Time:Â 7 p.m. EST
Venue: Wells Fargo Center — Philadelphia, Pa.
Coverage:Â ESPN
The Bucks have struggled away from Milwaukee this season. We will see if they step up their game on national TV against another Eastern Conference contender. They are coming off an 11-point road win over Washington. Jrue Holiday has continue to expand his role, working his way back from injury. He has played 32 minutes in back-to-back games, appearing to be fully back. Giannis Antetokounmpo put up a big 31-point triple-double to help lead the Bucks to a win in Washington.
The 76ers have been nearly unbeatable at home this season. However, they are a very different team without MVP candidate Joel Embiid in the lineup. The Sixers are also on the back end of a back-to-back, so they could see a bit of fatigue tonight. Tobias Harris stepped up last night to help lift the 76ers over the Knicks, finishing with a game-high 30 points.

Bucks vs. 76ers Prediction
The Bucks need to bring their top game against another Eastern Conference contender. The 76ers, meanwhile, are at a rest disadvantage and without their best player. While they are money at home, Milwaukee at full strength will be too much to handle.
Prediction: Bucks -5.5
